Sending good thoughts to you and yours.<br /><br />And yeah, I've thrown a medical condition at one of my characters, and it ended up turning her whole life upside down. The MC developed a problem with her thyroid, causing a fair amount of weight gain. Except, in a few short months, she's supposed to be the spokesmodel for the most successful cosmetics company in the country--a position that's been in her family for 100 years. This extra weight is throwing a monkey wrench into everyone's plans.<br /><br />This is the ms that got me my agent, and she's shopping it around as we speak. :) Fingers crossed! :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-21579964868801651992010-10-01T13:05:48.835-04:002010-10-01T13:05:48.835-04:00@PK, that's awesome!

My aunt had similar surgery, but she was in her 60s.<br /><br />My sister got donor stuff put in her knee. I could see why there would be a gross out factor.<br /><br />I've never had a character with a physical flaw, but when I was fourteen, my mother fell down the stairs. She was in a coma for a couple of weeks and rehab for three months. I used the experience in a manuscript. It was hard to write.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-88148921927963216002010-10-01T07:47:14.494-04:002010-10-01T07:47:14.494-04:00hugs and fingers crossed for you guys! *squeeze*hugs and fingers crossed for you guys! *squeeze*Christina Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-27499551384014545152010-10-01T07:43:23.533-04:002010-10-01T07:43:23.533-04:00I'll be thinking of you today.
