Blogger Tim Blair to undergo surgery
Feeling poorly for some time. Saw a doctor a few weeks ago, who sent me to a specialist, who booked me into hospital for tests.
Its cancer.
Major abdominal surgery next week. If all goes well, the remaining non-cancerous section of me will be home by early-mid February. No idea yet how long a full recovery might take beyond then. Medical advice is very positive, but that wouldnt count for much in the absence of care and love from family and friends. Ive been overwhelmed. Im lucky.
Luckier than I ever knew.
Usual posting to continue shortly.
If, like me, you're a fan of Tim's pithy punditry and dry Aussie humour, drop by the blog, register, leave him a getwell-soon comment, and click through the ads to generate him a bit of revenue. (AFAIK, he doesn't have a PayPal tipjar.)
