I meant to type this up earlier but I sprained my wrist last Sunday and typing has been pretty painful. I've spent most of the week in a wrist brace and using/extending the pinky on my right hand has been excruciating. Today it's not so bad if I take breaks every few sentences.
So, some of you know from following other topics that my wife's brain tumor has regrown. She has been on chemo all this past year but it hasn't really stopped the growth so now they are looking to do surgery again. The long standing members of this community will remember that we went through brain surgery, etc. last year and that things were much worse at that time. The tumor is only the size of a marble this time (instead of a golf ball).
Still, we are on the cusp of having surgery again. Brain surgery... the serious kind of surgery. We also don't know exactly when it is scheduled.
We have the surgery done out of state by one of the best brain surgeons in the world. Planning a trip this size, pulling the kids out of school, and so on is tricky at the best of times. Even more fun when you don't know exactly when things will be. So it's been a kind of stressful week. (I really could have picked a better time to sprain my wrist.)
What this means to Mythruna and you guys is that development is extra slow right now. I haven't even really been able to do design work this past week because of the wrist and trip planning.
Monday (April 22nd), I will be driving to Duke University with the family. Tuesday we meet with the surgeon and sometime after that there will be surgery. Maybe as soon as the next day.
I will have my laptop with me and I will try to keep up with the community and forums, at least. I will be able to remote into my home network to check on the servers and stuff. Any catastrophic hardware failures will be unfixable until I return sometime the following week. Our neighbors have been nice enough to take care of our house while we're gone but I can't expect them to trouble-shoot router problems while they're feeding the pets.
I will try to work on stuff while I'm away but usually my free time is spent being exhausted. Between worrying about my wife, keeping the kids occupied, driving to/from the hospital, sleeping on a couch, etc... it's hard to hold onto a detailed computer thought for more than a few minutes.
So please bear with me for the next week or so.
