Tomorrow I will be having surgery on a very large ventral and a umbilical hernia. Evidently, the surgery is one that is rather painful and difficult to heal from, and I'm not sure how long it will be until I'll be online again. I'm posting this for two reasons:
First, to let those who care know why I'm not around -- the reason why I haven't been around until now is because Biggie has been here, and we've been packing in all the pre-surgery fun we can have.
Second, I want to say thank you to those of you who have sent me Christmas cards and gifts. I have never, ever had so many cards in my life! I decorated my house with them and ran out of room! It completely blows me away, the kindness and generosity of my fellow Dimmers, and while I have been able to write some notes of thanks, the sheer volume and lack of time at the computer have combined to leave me treating many of you rudely by not responding personally. I hope you will forgive me for that lapse of social grace.
I want to say that this is by far the finest group of men and women in the fat acceptance universe, and I feel so very fortunate to know, and to be getting to know, you all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for warming my heart with your thoughtfulness, generosity and friendship. Y'all are simply the best!!
