My dear Helen, We have all missed you so much. You have no idea how
empty the board is without you and Chrissie too for that matter.
I've been so in denial about not feeling great by now after my surgery
(June 28) that its hard to write and say coherent, funny, or educational
things. I just want to put my head in your lap and cry. Your picture is
beautiful, by the way. I'm trying to find a good one of me, but somehow
they all show me with my mouth open. Does that say something about me?
Maybe not, just a coincidence. Anyway, I need to cut back the meds. And
go for walks like I'm supposed to be doing. I've got a T.V. crew coming
here to the Inn in a week or so. God help me, seriously. I can't face
anybody, but I guess I have no choice. I could call it off, but that
would probably be stupid. Or I could show them pictures of my operation
and tell them about adhesions, except that it's not live and they will
only edit me out. Wouldn't that be great if it were live. I could just
talk and talk about adhesions and all kinds of disgusting things.
I'm sorry to hear about your ear infection. I hope you're better by now.
As you can see, I'm much better at talking about myself than anything
else. Anyway, I've addressed this to you from the world, because I've
discovered a secret. Everybody who used to write to the board regularly
is just skimming it now to see if anybody is writing and since a lot of
people who used to write aren't, they aren't either and its a vicious
circle. And it's got to STOP. We need each other. With all my love and
hugs, etc. Sally
