Thanks Karen - I'm still chuckling over the calorie free cake.  That is too cute.   Thanks for your support. Christina

Thanks Dawn.. How sweet of you to remember my special day.  It has been an amazing year.  I've been trully blessed in so many ways.  I have lost my old friend (food) and I have gained so many new friends. I did not think I would get emotional but I'm starting to tear up.  I can do so many things that I would have never dreamed of doing a year ago.  I was sitting on the floor indian style this morning putting some barcoding on new equipment at work and was amazed at how comfortable I was and how easy it was for me to get back up.  It would have taken a crain to get me back up a year ago. For those of you just starting this journey..... hold on tight beause you're in for the ride of your life.  Those post op, keep pluggin along and enjoy those WOW moments and pat yourself on the back from time to time.  We've all come a long way baby! Thank you all for your continued support.  I can not stress the importance of having a strong support system.  It makes all the difference in the world and keep me accountable. Take care, Christina

Happy Surgiversary hon! Dee

Thanks Dee...  You have a birthday coming up too!  Christina

I know where you are coming from about sitting on the floor and then being able to get back up without too much effort. Girl I have been thinking about you having your surgiversary all week. I am so glad that I decided to make my way back to support group last year (Holy Spirit tapped on my shoulder) and finally meeting you and Jeannine (hope everything is ok with her).  Are you and Calvin going to do anything to specially mark the day? Or are you working the PT job? About the 23rd - do you think that Calvin would like to come? Janet is looking for a ride if her Joy Boy does not have male companionship there while us girls are cackling away. Dave will come so the boys can talk together.  Christine

Hi Chris - Tell your sis I said "Happy Birthday"    I requested the 23rd off and have all the intentions of being at the get together (God Willing).  I will see if Calvin can work something out with his schedule.  I know he would enjoy hanging out with the guys.

Nothing special going on tonight.  I'm actually still working my day job.  I had my appointment with Dr. R. today.  I just get the warm & fuzzies when I go see the gang.  What a great group of people.  I'll try to post some new pictures when I get home tonight.  I had Barb take a picture of me & Dr. R.

I sure do miss Jeannine.  I think about her all the time and wish I had a way to reach out to her. I'm glad you made it back support group last year too.  You have been such a huge part of my journey.  I'll say it again, "I've been blessed" in so many ways.

Thanks again for your support. Christina
