There was always some wacko rationilisations made about things, wasn't there? haha.

Yeah, I think I heard more than once that the " fat" was directly linked to premies love somehow or other, hahahaha.God knows what that was about.

As for the hernia, I'm surprised that got through without being suppressed but it did. Even so, it was a bit hush-hush and not many people paused long enough on it.I vaguely remember it was his version of the crucifixion on the cross. Something about taking on the pain of the world or something.

Anyone recall the " hernia" period in more detail? I don't, it's all vague. Ours was not to reason why ours was but to do ....and die to our ego laden self.
