May 9th is my day!!!

I cannot tell you how excited and how scared I am!! The approval process was a blessing and very easy. I'm just nervous about the pain after surgery, the vitamins, eating enough protien and getting into cardiovascular shape! Does anyone know how soo after surgery you should be able to work out? I've got a membership to the YMCA, and I'm rather antsy to start my journey! Thanks, and best wishes to everyone awaiting their freedom day! Take care, Ashleigh

Dear Ashleigh, Congratulations!!! I don't know anything about the exercise yet, but I know a great spirit when I read one.....you'll do great! Go Girl!!! and thanks for the best wishes on my freedom day.....May 17, 2004! Fellow Journeyer, Sally
