Thank you.

I do think this decides me not to take on any fic exchanges this summer. I probably still could do one, but I'm likely to be distracted, especially if her surgery goes forward as quickly as she thinks it might.

She is very calm and not particularly worried at this point. Her eight year old knows she's going to have surgery but doesn't know why. His father and grandmother have had surgery in the last year, so he thinks of it as just one of those things that happens occasionally rather than as anything worrisome.
