So many of you have asked about how Paddy’s been doing since she fell and broke her arm. She had surgery to have a rod inserted, and that went well.

Yay

What didn’t go well was the amount of bleeding that occurred twice following the surgery, starting on her trip home from the hospital.

booo

That was remedied, and she is fine, but she has to keep her arm immobile, in a sling, until the wound heals. And of course, she’s in pain and on meds, which means she’s in a pretty good mood. Oh, but I kid. Sort of.

So I’ll be holding down the fort for awhile longer, with the invaluable help from my dear friends lwdgrfx, Cathi Peyton Erman, and FreakOutNation’s Anomaly.

Please be patient with the slower pace and different content (which is really cool, IMHO) until Paddy has the use of her typing arm again.

And please send wine. I need it.

note to readers smallerPLEASE NOTE: Paddy fell and broke her arm, and is currently in the hospital. I’m on my own here, so please be patient with the minimal posting overnight and in the morning, since I’m in California and Paddy usually gets all the early news up before I’m awake. This note will stay up for awhile, all our posts are under this one.

Thank you. Love, Laffy

As our regular readers have noticed, Paddy and I have been M.I.A. a lot over the past two days… mostly Paddy. Here’s an update…

I did finally speak to her this morning, and she sounded great. She’s still in the hospital getting checked out, resting, and being “fitted” for meds, but should be back soon. Whew!

I’ve been barely dealing with her absence with the incredible generosity and help of David Garber, Freak Out Nation’s @Anomaly100, and our own @LWDgrfx. But I’ve also been pretty overwhelmed taking care of my dad, my own doctor visits (I’m fine) and helping a dear friend deal with some pretty major stuff, so I’ve barely kept up with my writing here, my radio spots, the news, Twitter, Sulia, Facebook, my own life, and everything else I juggle as I post at TPC.

Pant, pant, pant!

Things should get back to near-normal very soon (my dad won’t, but the other situations should improve gradually), so again, please be patient. We never forget you, our causes, or anything else that matters deeply to us.

Thank you as always.

Love,

Laffy

Paddy (@PaddyK) is in the hospital… she’s okay, but they found an irregular heartbeat, so they’re keeping her over night to check it out. Why was she there to begin with? Her back was killing her, so off she went. She’s now in a morphine stupor waiting to see what’s up with her ticker.

So, if you will indulge us, posting will be slow to non-existent until I am done with my weekly stint on the Nicole Sandler radio show this morning. I usually don’t start posting on Tuesday mornings until at least 10 am PT, so please bear with me.

Meantime, I’m trying to find guest bloggers to tide us over.

Thanks for your patience. I’ll keep you posted on Paddy.

Laffy

First things first: Paddy and I wish each and every one of you a safe, warm, happy holiday filled with love and yummies.

As for this week: Both of us are under the weather, so posting has been a little slower than usual the past few days.

As for me, I am going on yet another Big Road Trip (scroll… and yes, let’s hope it’s not a repeat of the one I had two years ago… and yes, our house is in good hands) to San Francisco with my family, so we all better get over our miserable colds quickly (all of us caught this sucker). Especially because I’m meeting up with some wonderful new, and long time, Twitter friends in SF, which makes me so happy!

I’ll try to post when I can, but I doubt it will be more than once or twice, because it’s not easy when I’m out and about. (My little notebook is a pain, plus I’m never sitting in one place long enough to write anything.)

Hence, I’ve invited a few people to sub for me, including David Garber, Andy Marquis, and Chris Lamb. Hopefully, they’ll be able to contribute while I’m gone.

So we will likely continue our lighter posting this week, given the time of year and both Paddy and me trying to recupe from our various sickitude.

Again, have a safe, warm, happy holiday week. Be good to Paddy and we’ll be back to our regular posting schedule after the first of the year.

I just got a call that Paddy has been hospitalized. She was short of breath, and has not been feeling well for a few days now. That is all the information I have, and I promise to update you the minute I hear more.

I’m in California, and the call literally got me out of bed, so regular posting will not begin in earnest for a couple of hours, and may be spotty today due to Paddy’s illness.

Fingers crossed that my dear friend and co-editor is okay, and I won’t forget to send your good wishes her way once I get to speak to her.

We love you Paddy!

UPDATE: All the big tests show there’s nothing major wrong with her, and she’s now taking more tests to figure out how the treat the symptoms. YAY!  But she’ll be out of commission for a few days, so please be patient with my one-woman posting.
