Lisa Ray Instagram – So…I’m down with the mumps. That’s correct. The mumps. You might have had the chipmunk swelling on both sides of your jaw as a kid. Apparently an adult has a 0.007 percent chance of contracting the mumps, so either: 1. I’m special 2. I’m burned out after my recent schedule 3. My immune system is compromised due to the maintenance therapy I’m on for Multiple Myeloma 4. My spirit needed a break and sent me a strongly worded message 5. All of the above . Either way, I’m on enforced bedrest and reading after months. #CelestialBodies and #GunIsland are winging their way to me and I’ve already started this vivid and compelling tale by one of my favourite authors #TashAw #downwiththemumps #readinginbedisthebest
