I am happy to report that I got through my extraction of a resorbed tooth with no complications last Wednesday—no fun, but it’s done. So I was able to get my spring Covid shot on Friday, also without complications. My lungs have cleared from pneumonia,and I caught up a bit on rest over the weekend, along with enjoying a lovely Mother’s Day visit with my eldest in Boston. My finger ulcer heals slowly, but at least it continues to heal.
I’m also happy to report that my acting debut, a scene from The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams last Monday night, was a success. First time I’ve performed in a play since the sixth grade, and I remembered all my lines (no small feat, giving how much harder it is to remember stuff at this age, especially with scleroderma brain fog).
And so, I will be taking a few weeks off for the rest of the month, to recharge. I’ll be back on this blog in June. In the meantime, Dear Reader, I wish you good health, good medical care, and that you make the most of each moment.
