I began writing short stories for monthly newsletters and, believe it or not, my friends. After much encouragement, I’m ready to offer you a taste of what only a few have previously savored.

I’m baacccckk! Well, almost back. I was away on medical leave after having minor surgery to remove a clot of my right lung. Remember the time I passed out? It was caused by exhaustion and lack of oxygen due to a small blockage. It was so small that my doctors didn’t catch it first time around. They found it on the second scan and removed it earlier this week. I didn't tell you guys because I didn't want to worry you....though I'm sure I'll get the bollocking of my life now. :)
Everything went well and I’m home resting. Greg has me on limited access to all forms of media and I’m not fighting it. On the bright side they gave me some slammin’ drugs! I’m feeling no pain!!...though it have turned my writing to shit.
Greg’s been so stressed out. Honestly I don’t know how he’s holding up. I’m one lucky Lady.
I received an email from a reader asking why I capitalize the word ‘Lady”
Aside from habit, I do so out of respect for the female trailblazers. To me, ‘Woman’ sounds harsh….‘Chick’ sounds ghetto…. and ‘Girl’ sounds immature. ‘Lady’ encompasses womanly power. When I hear the word 'Lady' I think of my Grandmothers, my mother, and the Lena Hornes' of the world. Ladies aren’t pushovers, we’re fighters and alot stronger than people give us credit for being. But at the same time we have big thumping hearts.
So there’s your answer. Now, I’m going to take a nap.

Hope you get well soon and get some rest. And yes, I agree with the "Lady" comment. My mom once told another lady who called her a "B****" that "I'm not a bitch. I am a lady." There is a huge difference between Lady, chick, girl or the infamous B**** and I recognized the difference inthe way you capitalized the L from the start. I applaud you. We need more black women like you.

You know I was worried. I was ready to send up smoke signals. Rest and get better!

I'm glad the doctors were able to find the problem and correct it. Get plenty of rest and get better soon.

Thanks Ladies. I'm knackered. I tried staying awake but my meds are kicking in, lol! Lydia, I'll call you in the morning or whenever I wake. *shrugs*

Wow! Glad the problem was found and solved. Of course your hubby has cut you off until further notice and I can't blame him. Like your comment in facebook, you're being worshipped, my dear! :)

Debbie, Greg is being a gem about all of this. He's totally taking care of me. He even told my sister off when she tried to force me to eat! Ha!

Ms. Lady, I pray you wellness quickly. And wish away all of Greg's worries of a speedy recovery. Take care!

Okay last sentence made no sense. I think I've baked my brain along with the 3 Pound Cakes I just made. Let's try this again, "And wish away all of Greg's worries of a less than speedy (& healthy) recovery. That's better!

You're too funny. I wish I had some pound cake. Maybe I'll ask my Mom to bake me one tomorrow. That'll keep her busy.

Wow those clots can be pretty sneaky... I'm happy that they found it and that you are feelin better!! I hope you get enough rest. Maybe Greg should relax too? Sounds like you guys need a vacation!!! :)

Yes they are very sneaky! But it explained alot. Greg and I were looking into taking a holiday...just the two of us. Now is a good a time as any!

Though I'm going to miss those steamy updates, do take care of yourself (better yet have Greg take full care of you) and don't attempt to rush your recovery.

Don't count me out just yet. I'm still here...I'm just getting some much needed rest after they hacked me open. :)
Honestly, the clot was so small. I only had the operation to put Greg and my family at ease...the meds would've taken care of it in time. I'm working on updates as I type. |

Wow Tracy, glad you're back and take care of yourself...although I am sure Greg will take care of you.

Wow I am so glad they found it the second time around no matter how "small" the clot Tracy. Let Greg take care of you he needs the validation you are okay and I will pray for both of you.
(Yes Ladies I do pray) |

If you guys finally take that mini vacation, I will stop whatever I'm doing and celebrate by doing the running man.
