Getting Back into the Swing of Things
Update
I have been out of commission since Friday the 16th. I injured my knee at the beginning of November, something I thought had gotten better, but it unexpectedly returned worse than when the injury happened. The pain blackouts, and being stuck on the couch/chair where my leg can be properly propped up day and night have kept writing and interaction out of reach.
I am used to being in pain, so this level of incapacity has been exceedingly disheartening. Even the excitement of the Small heat results wasn't enough to supply the energy needed to keep my attention and focus. I am finally back to sleeping in bed, and I can type on the laptop again, so I am trying to at least update, get my few items I had in line out, and get some reading and commenting done.
I saw the doctor and got an MRI, which was clean. So I know there is no joint, tendon, or ligament damage. As always, it's just more pain, so I just have to push through it, and things should go back to normal.

Francine knew to expect things to be in a possible state of disarray when they arrived home, but she was still slapped in the face by the stack of crates in the atrium and jumped as Azure bellowed from behind her:

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has the potential to unlock enormous value in healthcare from improving documentation quality to streamlining revenue cycle operations and strengthening data governance. Yet despite years of promise, NLP adoption across healthcare organizations remains uneven and slow.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

Oh no! That's horrible to hear! I hope you can figure out what's going on and get pain free soon. Keep your head up, you can get through it :)
Oh no, I'm so sorry that the pain worsened 🥺 But I'm glad that there's no damage to anything. Hope you feel better soon. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Sorry to hear about this ordeal, but I’m glad you’re on the mend. Pain is a huge obstacle to creativity, not only when it’s physically prohibitive, but also when it saps emotional energy. I feel ya.
