When last we saw our intrepid heroine…
. . .she had sprained her ankle.
Since that time, she’s been spending a lot of time on the couch, with Mozart on duty as nurse/therapy cat. I’ve been writing, in-between naps, and Steve’s been writing, too. We’re on schedule to hand in Dragon Ship on January 16, and may even have time to pack before we leave for Chattacon.
(Apologies to those who have read much of this before; this is in the way of a catch-up post for those who read at sharonleewriter.com.)
So, the jury’s still out on whether I’ll be wheeling it at Chattacon, or be Mostly Mobile™. The doctor’s appointment on Thursday may clear some of this up. In the meantime, yes! we will be at Chattacon, and looking forward to seeing fellow guests Laura Anne Gilman, Rachel Caine, John Picacio, Toastmaster Mark van Name, and YOU! So, do come; it’s going to be a blast.

In other news, here is the Lee-Miller schedule for the first half of 2012, as currently understood:
January 16 — Dragon Ship (due November 15) turn in
January 17 — leave for ChattaCon
February 15 — tax stuff due to accountant
February 17 — leave for Boskone
March 9 — talk at Limestone Magnet School

. . .we’ve just been asked by a colleague to participate in a project; not sure of the deadline for that, yet. Plus, we intend more stories for Splinter Universe, and we’re still kicking around the idea of a Kickstarter Project — obviously, that’ll be something for the second half of the year.

And now?
You’re all caught up.
And I’m going back to work.

When I went to an orthopod for a consult a month in I was told I should have had a walking cast, but that it was too late!!!
Doctors still seem to think that females can put their feet up and not do anything. Men *have* to do real work and are treated accordingly.
And if they knew you were a writer well....

Thank you for mentioning it. I had no idea such things existed -- well; I have seen them, but I assumed that someone would have mentioned it, if I might need one.
I see that I'm gonna have to get used to asking doctors Very Stern Questions proactively, just in case somebody along the line forgets to tell me something Important.

Lowe's in Augusta may have one in stock: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=337728-1471-DN7064&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3309920&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 . There are fancier ones including "transfer" styles with wider benches -- but they cost more. (A "transfer" style generally extends past the edge of the tub so you can sit down on it and slide into the shower, instead of having to get into the shower and then sit down). Here's a pic of a transfer style: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=121298-1471-DN7105&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3009995&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1#BVRRWidgetID
They can also be obtained from medical supply stores; some states allow them to be rented, but that's a bit of a pain.
....y'know, you might want to ask the concom to see if you and Steve can be put in a handicap room for Chattacon. Such rooms should have grab bars and a built-in shower seat; probably much easier for you.
