I am so sorry it has been so long since the last update. I got sick, which led me to being tested for Celiacs, which I may have. So, I have been feeling very sick for quite a while, because of the tests. Thankfully, testing is over, and I can go to eating foods I can eat without feeling sick. Yay. This will be updated regularly again, with any luck...
Amanda,
Not too long after my last letter, I got the word that a Doctor M'Benga had been arranged to perform the surgery. After hearing that, I let Spock know I was having heart surgery. He was distressed by the news, though hid it well enough.
He has just lost one parent. I think he would see himself a failure if he lost me too. I should call him again soon enough, but first I am told to rest myself for a day or two.
The surgery was a success though it has left me weak and easy to tire. Until I am in better health, looking after the farm will be impossible, so once I get back to the new home I will be spending most of my days overlooking what the farmhands have done.
I have been told to expect to tire easily, so I am forewarned on that. I will not be doing much of anything until that passes.
I look forward to the quiet. Hospitals are far too filled with noise for my liking. I should be sent back to the colony within the next few days. I will call Spock before leaving to let him know I am on the mend and doing well.
It is rare that my letters to you only have good news in them, and I see this as good. It is a nice change of mood for me. I will probably have a lot more energy after I am properly healed.
I love you.
Sarek.
