A quick note to say that I’m having unexpected eye surgery today and the recovery might affect my reading and reviewing ability. It will certainly affect my computer use. So I’m reluctantly announcing a two-week blog break. Be well, reading friends!

Hi, Carol – Sending healing vibes your way!
Donna
Thank you! I have a detached retina 😱
I am so sorry to hear this Carol. Sending warm thoughts that it heals quickly!
Thanks so much! I was in the middle of writing my WOYBS post! But that will wait for another month! Gotta deal with a detached retina.
Sorry to hear this Carol. Hope all goes well for you.
Thanks Karen! Unplanned detached retina.
I hope that the surgery goes well and that your eye recovers quickly Carol X
Thanks so much! Not looking forward to it but don’t want to lose my sight!
Oh gosh no! A couple of my friends have had surgery for detached retinas though and recovered completely so fingers crossed for you. Look forward to having you back blogging again before too long
Thank you for your encouraging words Janette! Hope to be back soon! Right now I can manage comments using my iPad.
Oh Carol, I’m so sorry you had eye surgery today! I hope you have a fast recovery!! I will miss your posts, but take time to get the rest your eye needs. Perhaps audiobooks would be just what the doctor ordered for right now??
Oh my gosh! I hope your eye surgery was successful! I’m downloading some audio books!
Prayers that everything turns out fine, Carol💜
Thank you! Sudden detached retina. Ugh!
Dear Carol,
I’m sorry to hear this. Good luck and be well. Thanks as always for your amazing blog and all the fabulous info you share! You are amazing! I use so much for my book club and share with so many friends! Speedy recovery!
Awww! Thanks so much for your sweet words! I appreciate your comments Diane! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoy my blog and that it’s been instrumental in your reading life. Everything has to be set aside to deal with detached retina!
So sorry to hear about your eye surgery and hope healing will be complete. I look forward to all the information about books that you send. You have an excellent blog. I will look for you in two weeks!!
Thank you so much Sharon! I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the blog! Thanks for commenting! I’m eager to get this detached retina surgery behind me!
Oh my Carol! I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. I can tell you for sure that resting the eyes is a very necessary part of eye surgery recovery. I still have to go lay in a dark room to rest mine. I start my light therapy treatments next week.
Grant yourself some grace to take care of those eyes. We’ll all be here when you get back!
Best wishes to you and your surgical team.
Thank you Gina! I sure wasn’t expecting a detached retina! Luckily I have no blog tours for the rest of October. I hope we both have a full recovery! 🙏
A detached retina is nothing to mess around with. Take care my friend. If you need anything read or written, let me know. I’ll be happy to help.
Thanks Gina! 🙌😍
Oh no Carol, You will be missed! Prayers for full healing.
Thank you so much! Thank you for your prayer! Much appreciated!
Hi Carol! I’ll miss seeing your updates. I’m praying for your surgery and recovery, particularly for minimal reading disruption.
Thanks Kayla! Lots of audio books in my near future!
I wish you a full and speedy r4ecovery, Carol. 🤗💕📚💐
Thank you Sandy! It sure was unexpected!
Hope everything goes well Carol. 😘
Thank you Nicki! It sure was unexpected!
Oh dear. Hope all goes well Carol and that you are back reading and blogging again soon x
Thanks Joanne! At least I’m able to use my iPad for quick comments! Now I need to download some audio books!
Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery!
Thank you Davida! How are you doing today?
Thank you Karen! I’m so sorry to hear about your glaucoma 😢 I’ll never take sight for granted again!
Sorry to hear this news Carol. You will be in my thoughts.
Thanks Lynne! So unexpected!
I’m sorry this has happened, Carol. Take care of yourself. I look forward to your return to the blogosphere in a couple of weeks.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Carol and a successful surgery. 🤗
Thanks Carla! Had my follow up visit today and the surgery was successful ..now I just need to follow recovery instructions!
That’s great news, Carol. Yes, make sure you follow those instructions. 😀👀
Hope the surgery goes well! Take time to rest and recover.
Thank you for the well wishes Stephanie!
I hope that the surgery was successful and you have a quick recovery. Think of all the audiobooks you can listen to!
Thanks! Surgery was successful. I think the recovery period may take a while but I can get back to blogging a a couple of weeks when I don’t have to be so careful to maintain a certain head position. Audio books to the rescue!
Hope you recover from your eye surgery quickly and completely, by God’s Grace!
Thank you so much for your warm well wishes! Greatly appreciated! 🙌
Hope all goes well 😊
Thanks for your well wishes Alison! Surgery went well…now recovering.
