River: State of the FlowerCat Episode 9 probably

( Content warning: serious medical issues. tl;dr: Colleen is back in the hospital. It's serious. She's currently recovering from major surgery. )

Done Since 2021-07-04

Colleen spent the entire week in the hospital -- WhidbeyHealth Medical Center -- waiting to get a transfer to UW, which has the specialists she is going to need for surgery. As of this morning her condition had worsened to the point where they decided to operate on an emergency basis this morning.

She made it -- she's one tough old lady.

She'll be transferred to UW as soon as she's stable enough for it to be safe to transport her -- tonight or tomorrow, hopefully -- where the specialists can finish fixing her up. Details in State of the FlowerCat Episode 9 probably.

For the sake of continuity, today's part of the log has been moved up. You'll find it under the cut with the rest of this past week. I've also been working on a post about Cordwainer Smith, but it's not finished yet. Life happened.
