I could have titled this blog: Whatever Happened to Baby Karen, Hansel and Karen, or Then She Was Gone. Since April of this year, I stepped away from blogging, writing, and many internet sites. I have not read as many books or written reviews.
My husband went through 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. As part of the treatment, he received a female hormone injection to block the effects of testosterone. He experienced tiredness, muscle weakness, hot flashes, some mood swings, and restless sleep.
I am happy to say that the cancer is gone! He is now regaining strength. The effects from the hormone shot have 90% worn off.
I had shoulder replacement surgery 3 weeks ago after a year of pain and limited range of motion. Am doing well now as a bionic woman.
My apologies for not being active on this blog, not being supportive of my fellow authors/bloggers, and not letting my followers know where I have been.
Happy Reading! Happy Writing! Happy Blogging!
