Breaking the silence

Things have been quiet around here, mostly because I’ve been sitting at home taking my Ibrutinib and waiting for things to happen. Some things I’m still waiting for – the audiobook of Exile, the hardcopy of Nandor – but now I have significant news. My cochlear implant operation is to be on June 1st. Now this doesn’t mean I’ll have hearing back immediately; there’s a 4 week wait before it is switched on, and then the completely unknowable of how well it will work. But it is a bid step forward from where I am.
