Or, as I sometimes explain it, I have the faith of Puddleglum--I try to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there is no Narnia, and I'm on Aslan's side even if there is no Aslan to lead it.
Hearting this.

Susan, that was just beautiful.
Well, the confusion is all mine--the elegant wording thereof I stole from CS Lewis.

Ha! Well, Lewis is a pretty good writer to crib from.

A waaaay back, the question was posed:
Did you all love the feel of corsets from the first time you wore one?
Just chiming in to say yes, yes, a thousand times yes, but that's because I had a knowledgeable friend with me to help me put it on, cinch it correctly, etc. Putting a corset on incorrectly is very uncomfortable and crazy-making, so I would say that before your friend gives up on her dress completely, she should try to find someone who isn't a wedding dress fitter but rather a wearer of corsets to try it on with her.

How's your friend, did she come out of surgery OK?

Nora!
Thanks for asking about my friend. She's doing OK--she came out of surgery and spent a few days in the SICU, but is now in a step-down unit. She's breathing on her own, one of her chest tubes came out, and she's even been eating a bit. It's going to be a long, long recovery, but they expect it to be complete.

I'm glad that things will be OK. (even though it will be tough for a while) I'll keep her in my thoughts!
