A wow filled Saturday!

Ok, so since I was well over 400 pounds 6 months ago, I would have never even attempted to go to Kings Island, and ride all the rides, and then some. Let alone walk the 3 miles we put on our shoes. Well, yesterday, almost 6 months after surgery, I went and let me tell you what. It was a day full of wow's. I was amazed that I fit on every single roller coaster there. EVERY ONE!!!! I didnt have to squish my tummy to get harnesses over me, i didnt have to "suck it in" to get the seatbelts on, and most of all, and the happiest for me of all is that my "bad" foot, (19 foot surgerys, born club footed, horrible pain), didnt bother me once!!! It got a little tired, but thats normal. Everyones feet were tired, and it wasnt just me complaining this time. Cant wait to go back, whos up for a "Hoosier Loser" trip to the Kings Island?!?!? I AM!! COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I would share. S.

Scott- That is awesome! I acutally am taking my oldest kids to King's Island next Thursday and Friday and have been thinking about how much more comfortable I will be on the rides. I am so excited! Congratulations! Belle

What a great day! I can't wait to go to an amusement park, post-op. I am trying to talk the hubby into Holiday World soon. Linda Vicory

Scott, What an amazing journey you've been experiencingto be able to go on rides and having fun, ,instead of sitting on the sidelines,"wishing". I am so happy for you- and you'll have lots of new experiences coming soon!~ENJOY THE RIDES~ (((hugs))) Ellen

Kool Beans!!! So much better going and actually enjoying... WOW for you!! There will be more wow moments!! Linda Kay

Oh, I just had to say congratulations Scott! I LOVE roller coasters, probably just about more than anything there is, and I hate being mostly too big for them. I'm always paranoid I'm not going to fit, and once DH and I rode one and by the time it ended the seatbelt had popped off of us and was flapping in the breeze! Thank God there was a bar too or we would've fallen out!! LOL. I remember not that long ago going to Cedar Point, literally riding one coaster, putting the kids on a couple kiddy rides and going home. It sucked. I can't wait for my next trip to a par****ep wondering if I will maybe not be sweating like a dang pig the whole time too, but I guess that might depend on when we go... I'm so glad you had such a good time. Kim

Congrats scott I cant ride them not for the weight but they make me sick to my stomic but I love the fact that you do and now can ride them all. Your next stop is sandusky ohio. Vicki

Congratulations Scott!  I'm going to try my first roller coaster (post-op) this summer.  I always loved them, but had to give them up because it was just to embarassing and uncomfortable.  But I am really looking forward to riding with my son this summer! Cindy
