Sorry for the silence
I know I really have not been writing that much. Partly that is because the deacons have decided to take their preaching weekends, so I have not had to write a homily.
The main reason is because I had to have surgery this week. They tell me that it was nothing serious, but I suspect that is easier to say when you are the one doing the cutting than the one being cut on. I had to have a mastectomy (yes, I am a man, and yes, men can have problems with their breast, even cancer). I was having some pain and swelling, due to “extra” tissue, and given my history of already having had cancer, they wanted to take it out. I do not know the results of the pathology report, but the surgeon is very confident that it was benign.
I am not in much pain, thank God. Just mostly tired. So I have been resting. Hopefully I can say Mass this Sunday. But, I will not be writing for a few days.
