I held my ground

Well, this Saturday I went to the Kenny Chesney concert with my 2 daughters and I was able to keep up with them and survive. We waited in traffic for close to 2 hours so when we gott the opportunity to get out of the jam, we did, which meant parking in no mans land and walking. We were close to a mile from the stadium and off we went . I kept up with them and even at one point they told me to slow down. Once there we walked all around the stadium,(Pittsburgh's Heinz Field) stood for a pre concert and then once the concert started stood for the majority of it, dancing and clapping away. Then once it was over, walking all the way back, and not a single pain the entire day. Even the following morning the only thing that hurt was my wrist from all the clapping I did. The girls were grumbling that their legs and knees hurt, but mine did not. They just teased me and said that I must be in better shape than them now. It was a totally awesome day and knowing that I could no way have had the confidence to even go last year. I even fit in the seats with ease and even when I was standing up,I was not thinking of what the person must be thinking of me that was behind me. The sweetest thing of all, my daughters bought me the ticket, saying how proud they were of me and what I have accomplished this past year. Even with all the excitement of the concert, at points I would think of this and what they said to mea nd just start crying . Just another reward of the surgery, knowing my kids are proud of me and support me. Can't get any better than that........Take care everyone....... Gay

*drooling* Kenny Chesney.... YUMMY!!! Love that man!! Congrats on the great day with your daughters!! How wonderful is it that we can now live our lives without all the worries and aches and pains!!! Congrats to you!!!! Here's to many more wonderful WOWs to come for you!! Susan

What a great day! I am so glad to read this. No pains, no worries - just enjoying your life and your kids. I am so happy for you.

That is soooo great to hear Gay! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Your daughters are right....YOU DID DESERVE IT!!!! Lisa S

Oh it was so awesome. Just the energy of the crowd was unbelievable. Such a great time. As far as deserving it, I don't know about that. Again, I look at what I have done as nothing special, just part of life and what I have to do, but the girls look at it differently and are such a wonderful support to me. They share my wow moments with me and talk me through the rough times as well. I am so blessed to have my 3 girls. Jessi had bought me the ticket before I was working and since working I had saved money to pay her and when I tried to on Saturday she would not take the money, saying this was a gift to me and that she wanted to thank me for taking control of my life and being such a wonderful role model to them. Of course the tears came and everytime during the day when I would think of what I was experiencing, I would well up. I am a sap, I know. Oh well. Take care....Gay

YAY I am so glad you had such a great time and experience. That is just so awesome!!! What a great feeling to be passing them up. Tell them they better get workin cause it is not over yet!! YAY!!! You go you speedy Momma!!! I am so glad you had a great time. Hugs, Melissa

Aw...GAY...How sweet of your daughters to do that for you. Congrats on keeping up with them ALL DAY LONG!!! Hope you enjoyed the concert. I *LOVE* Kenney Chesney and would have loved to have gone, but hubby didn't want to spend the $$ on the tickets. He has a co-worker that bought tickets, sat on the parkway for THREE hours and when they got into town could not find a parking space anywhere, so drove home, parked the truck, pulled the folding chairs and cooler out of the bed of the truck and got ****faced in their garage listening to Y108. LOL!!! Hope you enjoyed the concert. Hugs, Tabby

WOO HOO CONGRATS on such a wonderful day!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)
