Frank update

At the moment, Frank is basically his old self! He's more cheerful, active, hungry, demanding, and annoying than he has been in weeks, if not months - he's been playfighting with Tim, and I keep having to chase him off the kitchen counter! His surgery has healed, his shaved fur's growing back, the antibiotics appear to have cured his intermittent vomiting, he's eating his normal diet again, and so far I'm not seeing any side effects from his chemo - though it's early days yet; we'll see how he's doing next week. (He needs a test to check the effect of the drugs on his blood count, and IIUC an x-ray to make sure there isn't a metastasis lurking in his chest.) It's so comforting to see him so chipper again. Fingers crossed he has plenty of happy time to come.

If you can write 80,000 words by the end of the year, and have yet to publish a book, have a stab at the Terry Pratchett Prize!

ETA: Should've mentioned the requirement to be a resident in the UK or the Commonwealth. Sorry, Americans! :(
