My Ramadan was interrupted by surgery. Sure it was a scheduled surgery, but an interruption just the same. I’m not back to fasting yet. At this point it looks like I will swing the first week and last week of fasting with weeks off in the middle for surgery and menstruation respectively. If I were an observant Muslim, I’d have to make up those days of fasting before next Ramadan, I suppose. We’ll see about that and how it plays into the founding of this new hybrid observance. The good news is that amidst this freeform, perioperative Witch Ramadan, I am achieving the clarity I was seeking. Time alone and quiet (after the narcotic haze had cleared) has been invaluable. What a luxury is a simple life!
I am healing from surgery as I do... quite vigorously and well. The doc says I'm good to go and I'm off and running again!
