An unpleasant surprise (and a request)

My wife, the compassionate and talented Slacktivixen, is currently in surgery. Again.

She had a minor “procedure” last Tuesday, during which the doctor saw something unrelated that concerned him, so she was scheduled for some further tests in case it was the worrisome thing about which he was worried, because that could potentially rupture, which would be bad. The tests were set for tomorrow afternoon. The rupture happened this morning.

So now she’s in surgery and I’m freaking out a bit and hoping the girls don’t read this since I’ve spent the day reassuring them that there’s no need to freak out.

If you’re the praying sort, I’d appreciate your prayers.

And if you’re the sort who is able and willing to click on that donate button there to the right, that would also be greatly appreciated, because I don’t know how to make our household math add up with one of us out of work for the next 4-6 weeks.

I’m going to try to compartmentalize and to think and write and post about Other Things here, but I’m not quite able to do that yet today.

Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts and your support.
