I'm not much a fan of blogs. I'm not opposed; I just don't have time for them. But if I had a therapist (which I guess I should, given that I live in California), I'm pretty sure he/she would tell me I should be journaling. I'm an academic so I can't imagine writing just for the heck of it -- i.e. *not* for an audience of some description.
I should be writing academic articles so I might get tenure, but the past 19+ months of my life don't really lend themselves to that, unless the topic is 1 vs. 2 (cardiac) ventricles, feeding tubes, mechanical vs. biological heart valves, blood thinners ...
I don't want this blog to be constantly depressing. Sophie is the joy of my life and I would go to the ends of the earth for her. But I should warn that I'm mostly writing this blog for me (how selfish, I know). I'd like to have some record of all this, even if I have no idea what I'll do with it. Well, that's it for now. Not sure if anyone will see this, but I will start posting soon, unless I go into labor.
