Interruptions

Well, I'm afraid no wiki content today.  And for a little while, there's going to be no content at all.  Come Tuesday, I'm going in for surgery.  Not a big deal, it's a hernia in my belly button; seems a loop of my intestine has popped in there and has taken up residence these last three years.  It's not considered overly essential, but is still covered by healthcare... but essentially I've had to live with it for some time while waiting for a table.  I settled the date in late January, and now it's coming in four days.

It means a total anesthetic, so there's a 1 in 10,000 chance, or probably less, that I might have a bad reaction and if so, that's the ball game.  The doctors like to be very clear about that, though the chances are minimal.  The surgery itself, I'm told, isn't that serious; but I'll likely be laid up for a few days, mostly because I won't want to do anything.  Since its right in my belly button, sitting at a computer working is probably going to be low on my priorities.  I'll try to have someone drop a note that says I'm okay, for those who want to know.

Meanwhile, I'm just going to take it easy.  There's two projects I'd like to get up before I go under.  Mostly, though, I want to feel rested, strong, not stressed, not beholden in general, and positive.  Like a vacation.  For some time afterwards, I'll feel none of those things, so I want to enjoy myself while I can.

None of you get worried.  I'll be fine.
