Too exhausted

Hey, folks--

I am way too tired right now to say anything meaningful to you.  But I did want to write a note thanking you all for the wonderful comments coming my way.  My face is swelling more and more (which is to be expected), and I'm spending little bits of time with Maybelle, interspersed with long periods of naps.  We'll be back in SC around the end of the week, at which time I'll continue to be napping.  A lot.

But at any rate, it's great to hear from you, and in the coming weeks I'll begin to get back to you, too.

Alison, you don't know me, but I have followed you for about 2 years. I am so glad the surgery went well and that you are coming along. Thank you to you and Biffle for sharing your life and experiences with us. Look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the following weeks.

That WAS meaningful, Alison! My mom always said naps and chocolate make you pretty.
Welcome home soon!

This might not be relevant, or it could be really relevant, but this video is really important. It's about language and "disability", the first two minutes are in her language, the rest are translated in English.

I think Blogger didn't allow Chantelle's link to come through. Is think this may be the video she's talking about:

Lots and lots of love to the three of you from your Barnes-Eisen Cinema relations, the current crop of Honors students, and our assorted pets. We want to see you next time you're out this way!

Alison - your surgeon is my hero...along with yourself, Biffle, Maybelle, the nursing staff, your family, and everyone else who's been involved. I hate to hear that you're face is swelling, but hey...hopefully you won't have any clogged pores. :} (look for the good in everything, right?) Seriously, I was so happy to see you in the video (thanks, Walter!), and I wish you the most peaceful and comfy napping anyone's ever enjoyed as you convalesce and recouperate (hopefully i spelled all that correctly).

many heartfelt warm fuzzies to all of the Biffle-Piepmeier's.

Wishing you sweet healing dreams. Sorry to hear about the swelling - must be annoying.

James and I are enjoying the Dan Zane cd!

Alison and Walter,

Thank you for sharing your story and keeping us posted. I'm so pleased that the surgery went well, and know that we've been praying for you (the unselfish prayers :). I'm looking forward to a little time with Maybelle when you return.
