Long Due update on my health

Hello Everyone,

After a long hiatus, I decided to re-engage with my Blog. Partially to use this format to promote my writing of course, and of course to connect with those who are not part of my Patreon.com fans.

First I like to apologize for this long break, and the main reason was my health.
I suffered a stroke, that affected my entire right body side. 

I could not speak, or write.
It took long months of SALT (Speech and Language Therapy) to partially regain these abilities. I am still affected and the doctors say it will never go away completely.
If that wasn't enough, during an ultrasound examination of my legs, (I developed a Deep Vein Trombosis) , the examining specialist said:"J notice a little lump on your throat, can I scan it?"

After her examination and a Needle Biopsy (https://www.thyroid.org/fna-thyroid-nodules/) it was determined that I had Stage II Thyroid Cancer,
I underwent Radioactive Iodine (Radioiodine) Therapy, Thyroid Hormone Therapy, External Beam Radiation, Chemotherapy for Thyroid Cancer and finally Thyroidectomy.
During all this, writing and blogging took a back seat. I apologize, but hopefully you understand.
