No Recommends, No Nails

I’m grompy. I just got out of my cast/braces and now I have a big fat cyst in the middle of my left palm because of course I do.

It’s probably the result of something I jammed into it when I fell in the woods last March.

I have surgery to remove it on Thursday — the cyst, not my hand, and I’m not allowed to wear nail polish.

I’ll post tomorrow and Wednesday and set up a post for Thursday Doors, but I’m not making any promises for the weekend.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

      Thanks! I’ll be fine. I’m just grumpy because doing my nails is my happy place.

    WordPress really needs to ad an, “I don’t like this at all, not one little bit” button. You’re still in our prayers (you made the permanent list a long time ago), and we’ll keep a good thought for you.

      It doesn’t seem to be dangerous, just irritating to me when I’m SO OVER IT.

          Probably not. Not sure what kind of dressing they’ll put on it, but they said I’d be able to drive after 24 hours, so probably not a cast.

    Oh Marian, you really have been through the wars lately. Let’s hope you’ve used up all your bad luck for the next decade or two. Chin up. 🙁

    Sorry you’re still not free. I know the feeling, still getting over surgery, may need more something.

    Grump a while, and then dump the grump.
