A/N: I hate when author's post an author's note as a chapter. Then you get all excited for a new chapter, only to find it's pointless rambling from the author. Yeah, well, sorry! I felt the need to put this out there for all my loyal readers. You all don't like to review, but I know you're reading b/c I can see the hits.
Anyway, I wanted to let you guys know that I will probably not be posting any updates for a while. I know, shocking, considering I'm not the most reliable poster anyway. This is way different though. This is far more than writer's block.
Six weeks ago my mom started having trouble remembering things. The doctor's attributed it to her overactive thyroid and the medication she was on. Two weeks ago they realized that her 'confusion' was actually short-term memory loss. A CT scan showed a brain tumor deep in the right side of the brain. Last week they did a biopsy to determine if it was cancerous, and if so, what type of cancer. During the biopsy she developed a bleed. They abandoned the biopsy and did a craniotomy to relieve the pressure. She is finally out of ICU, but is still having issues with motor function due to the hematoba. She will need intensive physical therapy just to walk again.
The doctors believe the tumor is a stage 4 glioblastoma, which is a very aggressive brain tumor. With aggressive treatment, they think she could have 12 - 16 months.
This has come as quite a shock to me as my mom is an integral part of my life.
So I hope you can understand, dear readers, when I say that I will not be able to write any time soon. Between spending every free minute I have driving back and forth to the hospital, and seriously not being in the right mood to write romance, I think I'm going to have to just hit pause for the time being.
P&PT for mom is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellen, aka mezy
