**1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SURGERY..YIPPEEEE**
-85 LBS and -93.5 INCHES! I can't begin to tell you the changes that have happened to me this last year. So many were so gradual I didn't see them, some were dramatic. If you can imagine a life from a wheelchair for 8 years, then you can feel MY excitement over being FREE from it. I had not been in our back yard (it had too much slope in it then) for over 3 yrs. Last summer I planted a flower bed out there and it is beautiful. Heck before surgery I couldn't bend over enough to plant flowers without it shutting off my air supply!! I feel alive again, I have lost 80% of my excess weight, my blood sugar level is normal, I take less medicine for my neuropathy, post polio symtoms have improved, cholesterol levels are low, blood pressure is good and I have shrunk!! Sex life is wonderful.. YES......this was one of the best decisions in my life and today I am celebrating, freezing today but going out anyways!! I want to thank Dr. Babineau for being a wonderful surgeon and making this happen, and my loving husband Gary, who has been so supportive!! Most of all I want to thank my God because "By the Grace of God, Go I". I will continue to exercise and watch my diet because I am not finished improving myself! God Bless all of you and wishing you a smooth Journey!!
