Dad\'s Surgery Went Well -- I am on Article 103

Howdy! First the Important news! Dad had his surgery this morning and they didn't remove his gall bladder. I am not 100% sure what that means, but I think that means that they did not believe that it was necessary to remove it. When I called the hospital I talked with his nurse and she said Mom was sitting with Dad in his room and he was okay and only feeling a little discomfort and soreness at the small incision site in his side. ...though Mom just called and she things they did remove the gall bladder... Regardless, Dad is doing okay.  Now an update, I have been doing a bit of writing and keeping up with stuff. I have reached the 30% progress level now... 28.2% actually with the article #103 I just finished. Now that is 28.2% of the articles in 26.6% of the days I have to write them in. I am also colaborating now with my friend Mags on another column reviewing interesting pieces of artwork on the Internet. Mostly things of the theme of Science Fiction art, Fantasy art, Space art, and Surreal art. Perhaps even with the large mouthful I have bitten off with this goal, it is not too much to add considering it is a colaboration and that we are not working on a daily deadline. I am also perhaps over a block in the writing of my novel... in part to inspiration inparted to me by some of the artwork my friend has found. She is finding the artwork and I am helping by helping put her words to text and adding my own reviews as well. Still problems with pain in my back and other kidney associated areas and still Really fighting depression and anxiety.  Oh, the Art review blog is "Blended Realms"  Article number 103 of the "Gnomestead Stump" is: "The Highest Form Of Flattery It Is Not" Later!
