I posted over at TheWriterChicks.com today about my thougts of the RWA and the lack of the erotic romance category in the RITAs and Golden Heart: post here. It is in response to the Dear Author post here.

I support the RWA and their mission to assist in the advance of the romance genre. I am president of a RWA chapter and I believe we can readjust the categories as well as allow epublished works to be entered in the RITAs.

This IS the funniest damn thing I’ve seen in a long time. It proves my thought that Fabio is nice to look at (back in the 80s when I was a kid) and that he should not talk.

Yeah, I really had a bad week. After my last report, I went to my doctor’s office as soon as he opened and pleaded to get relief. I was in such pain. He admitted me immediately to the hospital where I was on a morphine pump for 2 days. He hoped the pain would be controllable, but it wasn’t, which is why I was on morphine for 2 days. The third day I had surgery. Yes, I had a cyst but oh so much more. Ligaments and scar tissue were pulling my ovary, thus twisting it. I had one of my ovaries and a fallopian tube removed. I am home now, and sore. I am sore from the surgery, but no pain in the area where I wanted to die.

Oh, and I lost my job when I called to tell them I was having surgery. I kept them abreast of everything throughout this fiasco, yet I got “let go” because of my absence. And the kicker, she let me go while I was in the hospital about to have surgery. Nice, huh? As if I was faking this crap to stay out of work… Geez.

So, I am back to being an at home writer. Good thing, I have a book to finish anyway.

About midnight last night, the pain came back. I went to bed and did fall into a restless doze until 1am. I was abruptly awoken with sharp pain to my left lower abdomen. I writhed and screamed. I thought I was dying. After an hour of agony, I decided to go to the ER. My hopes? To get some pain medicine. So, hubby gathers up the kids and he takes me to the ER. I officially check in at 2:10am. And I sat. Sweat poured down my back as the pain continued. I took 2 Darvocet before I left for the ER, but no sign of it kicking in. After waiting an hour, I send hubby home with the kids. I’d rather call him when I’m done than have them all hang out in the waiting room. About 5am, the pain began to decrease a little. I continued to wait. I was called back to a room at 6:10am. Yep 4 hours later. The doctor sees me for about 5 minutes, basically dismissing me as having a history of ovarian cysts. Yeah, and? Nothing. I have a history, so why am I there? Okay, just shoot me. Excruciating pain is not a reason to go to the ER when they actually know it is a cyst. I was released at 7:20am with a prescription and told to contact my GYN. With no sleep and still in some pain, I had to call out of work. (Oh, should I mention the kids are home from school due to a teacher work day? And that my mom called me while I was in the ER saying she was ill and couldn’t watch them?)

When will it end?
