Who's that girl? I don't even know..

This has been a stressful week for me and a good one. Some of the good moments, a friend of mine after a long wait got her surgery. I was able to walk a good bit. I got to the waiting room and all they had were chairs with arms. I thought this is just great. Most of us know how those waiting room chairs are so narrow. I took one look at Kenneth and he knew what I was thinking, he said sit on that solid table. So I went towards the table and just sat down, BUT it was not on the table. I fit in that chair with ARMS! It's been YEARS since this has taken place. I didn't have the pain of squeezing in it or not fitting anymore. It's felt great! Then tonight after another visit with my friend Kenneth and I went out to the parking garage and I told him I just wanted to see how I fit in the truck on the drivers side. So I got in, had to move the seat up, plenty of room between me and the steering wheel. I told him I wanted to drive home. Haven't drove in 4 years. It felt so good, now that my legs can be moved so much easier it was so easy to drive again. I got my drivers license renewed today and I didn't know the person in the photo. I see myself in the mirror and I just sit there for several minutes in awe how different I really look. My friend Sarah is at the same hospital I had surgery, in fact the room across the hall from where I was. We ran into one of the nurses that I had. She had no earthly idea who I was. She noticed Kenneth right off and Kenneth said you remember her. She looked and looked and had no idea. I mentioned MTV and it finally dawned on her. She said I looked so different "healthy". The nurses at the nurses station didn't know who I was either. They were all amazed. I'm in that stage I don't know who I am anymore, the person I've seen for all these years is not who is appearance wise looking back at me anymore. All I want to do anymore is go do things. I can't fathom how things will be in 6 more months. Amy Open RNY 5/27/2004 615/570/410/Healthy (-205lbs)
