Bone Marrow Transplant

The bone has not healed. I will undergo and bone marrow transplant the week of July 9th. The doctor will harvest marrow from my right femur and pack it in around my tibia to achieve union. Major construction project of a different kind.

 I have been making notes for a novel with pop-up illustrations titled "Light and Smoke" for several years, and now those notes have fed into the rough draft of the text. I am traveling to British Columbia now for a family celebration, and when I return I'll go under the knife. While I am recovering I will write the second draft.

I think that this blog is finished. I have built my house, but adventures of moving it around will happen who knows when. I hope I will be able to walk again. Having my home to live and heal in is a simple and amazing grace. I guess this is the climax of the adventure this blog was about. I am still alive and able to thrive and be creative even under the most difficult and painful circumstances. Thanks for reading, and visit www.egretion.blogspot.com for other creative work. 

All the best. Peace, Love and Relentless Fucking Optimism.
Sincerely,
Gretchen
