Today I received the best news I've had in six months. At this point, I do not need surgery. I was looking down the barrel of needing a bilateral groin reconstruction, and that is no longer the case... assuming that the intensive physiotherapy regime I'm likely to start in a fortnight is successful.

That’s a plus. There was a negative over the weekend involving honeyed chai, but it’s one less distraction at this point, as delightful a distraction as it had the potential to be.

I’m not feeling happy. I’m not feeling calm. I’m not feeling normal.

I am, however, feeling just a little bit better. Maybe that’s enough, for now.
