I rarely post anything in November. I searched past posts from other sites, and there was nothing to share. I was usually using all my writing momentum to blast, struggle, and vomit words on a page for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writer’s Month).
Last year, was a different story. I had spent about two and a half weeks, in November, in a nursing facility recovering from major, life-saving surgery. I had very little access to a computer, and even less access to the internet. For a Writer’s Workshop prompt I had written the following.

In October, I learned that I had stopped breathing while on the operating table. In October, I learned how lucky I am to be alive. In October, I learned what the difference is between physical therapy and occupational therapy.
October was a challenging month. October was full of ups and downs.
I spent seventeen days in a nursing facility in October. I watched more television in those seventeen days, than I watched for most of the year. I had a fairly steady flow of visitors at the SNF during my stay. Those visitors were a balm for those long days in the SNF.
Written for The Sound of One Hand Typing’s Writer’s Workshop. John Holton gives us six writing prompts to choose from. I chose two prompts for this week: (1) Write a post in exactly 9 sentences. and (2) Tell us about something you learned in October.
