amberleadavis Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 As I have mentioned before, I'll be going in for HIPEC surgery on Monday. Now, I will admit to being a tad scared, but my cancer-survivor mentor, told me that she had more jewelry to buy therefore, she could not let cancer beat her. In that vein, I have decided I have more inks to try, pens to play with and more CRVs to write. Therefore, I decided to give myself prior encouragement. I have written CRVs in advance and I am having my daughter send them out during the next week. So even though I won't be writing any letters or making any posts, you all know that I've been INKing of you. Please plan on writing your CRVs and posting them up so that I can see them here on line. I expect that I'll feel well enough to look at ink, even if I'm not up to writing yet. I'm taking all the letters I have received during the last week with me to the hospital to read as encouragement. Thank you all for the love, prayers, thoughts, letters and encouragement. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas). Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter.

amberleadavis Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 As you can see, I wrote out the list for my daughter. I'm adding "clean pens" to the list. I already packaged the pens to mail out, wrote the letters, asked you all to post, and told you all that I'm taking the letters with me. I am going to beat this!

If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaW Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 You have every reason to a tad scared and then some, but what really matters is just getting through it and coming back to draw more wild inky pictures. Good luck. Best wishes. And big hugs. It's all about the greys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a formidable woman! I just received CRVs and yet you are busy doing more and even cleaning all your pens (and/or delegating to the family!).

PithyProlix Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Sorry I didn't post before - just saw this. When you are on the other end of this surgery and ready to start interacting with folks I will mail a CRV from the other side of the world. Message me your address! I went through a two year period with seven major surgeries. My attitude was 'This is the work I need to do to get myself healthy and keep on living. Get it done!' I spoiled myself with one or two ice cream shakes each day of the acute recovery periods. A little thing to look forward to. (Plus I needed to gain weight during the recoveries anyway ...) Script nib for writing screenplays. • Fine nib for my best writing. • Extra fine for my *very* best writing. • Medium for requesting a séance. • Bold for adventure stories. • Manifold for many various types of writing. • Coarse for indignant letters. • Oblique for making a point in a roundabout way. • Italic when I'm inclined. • Stub for when I intend to leave a manuscript unfinis My pens for sale: https://www.facebook.com/jaiyen.pens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
