I learned today there might be a bone infection in my right foot's ulcer and I'll need IV antibiotics and some minor surgery based on the X-ray from yesterday. I'm going into St. Mary's hospital in Huntington, WV on Thursday afternoon and have the surgery Friday, but don't know how long I'll be in for this health problem. This just seems to be the lowest point in a horrible year, getting the ulcer and being stuck with it almost nine months due to neglecting my diabetes condition until July, losing my home as I have mentioned before and having two different menial jobs I'm unsuited for physically in terms of lacking stamina.
The writing still goes nowhere in terms of four different publications taking their time responding to my short story submissions. Some won't respond until October or November, but some of them should've responded by now. This is sheer torture for me. I've started another novel manuscript, but don't know how much I'll get typed in the next few days. I don't even know if the hospital has wi-fi for patients with laptops. If not, I could still lay in bed and type on the book (if reading any paperbacks I take with me or TV are unappealing with all that spare time). The last six years have been downhill generally, despite any small steps of professional progress as an author - the successes are nice but dwarfed by every setback in life I suffer.
2012 cannot end soon enough for my taste.
