It’s been a while, I know.  I have a lot of updates.  First, I almost died.  I had my tonsils out.  A week later, I started bleeding.  I swallowed a lot of blood.  Some of it got into my lungs.  I started vomiting blood.  A lot of blood.  I decided to call for an ambulance.  By the time I arrived at the hospital, the doctors had to give me a transfusion.  Time was such a factor that they didn’t even have time to check if the blood was my type.  They put 4 units in me. 

I spent the night in the ICU with a breathing tube jammed down my throat and into my lung.  The tube sucked out all the blood I had swallowed.  Anyone who has ever had to sleep with a breathing tube down their throat knows that it is the most unpleasant experience a person can go through.  Needless to say, had I not called the ambulance, I would have died.  Had I not been in good physical shape, I would have died.  Had I arrived at the hospital 3 minutes later, I would have died.  I’m very lucky.  I’m very blessed.  And to those who came and saw me, and those who were worried, scared, and frightened for me, I’m sorry to put you through this.  Just know that I survived this ordeal because of you.  I wasn’t ready to leave you yet. 

Second, a lot of progress has been made on my book.  The back cover has been designed.  The publisher has sent me their first edit.  I looked it over and approved it (I’m very impressed with my editor.  She has done, and continues to do, a great job.).  We are now entering the final stages to get my book released and on the shelves. 

Thanks to everyone who has patiently been awaiting the arrival of my novel.  I’m very grateful for the support I’ve received throughout.  I’ll continue to post more updates as they come.
