Do You Want The Good News Or The Bad News First?

If you already follow my personal Facebook page then you know the latest, that my wife, Tamara, had surgery yesterday to remove a tumor surrounding her left ovary. The surgery went great and the patient is doing fine, thank you all for your kind wishes for her speedy recovery. She should be going home today to rest. We still need to await the biopsy results, but everyone thinks it will prove to be benign.

I didn't write about this situation before because Tamara wanted me to keep a lid on it until it was over. It's been a hectic two months running around getting exams, more exams, more tests, and dealing with the Caja here (the government healthcare system). In the near future I'll be writing in detail about our intimate experience with the health care systems here, which I'm sure many of you are curious about. It's one thing to hear about it in the abstract, quite another to learn about a real-life experience. Suffice it to say, in this case we went private, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't use the Caja in the future.

Now, so that this post isn't a downer, here's something on the lighter side. On my other blog, Cloud Warmer, I have the same little, blue, floating Twitter Bird as on this blog. If it's driving you nuts, you now have an outlet for the annoyance. Someone over there mentioned in a comment that the bird is "creepy", so I put up a poll to decide its fate. That poll will likely decide the fate of its twin on this site. So, you can see just how important this is and you really should pay attention!

So, if you can't stand that little innocent-looking bird, vote Yes, if you like it, vote No, and if you don't care one way or the other, please vote, "Don't Care". It's high time that you expressed your deep apathy!
