Almost 6 months out...x-post

I just realized I'm almost 6 months out from surgery and I can't believe it, it's gone by so fast!  Well except for the first couple of weeks after surgery.  *lol*  I'm down 78 lbs. and feeling really good.  My knees are so much better, my back doesn't hurt like it used to, and my feet are probably as good as they're going to get without surgery on them.  My son's school had a walk-a-thon on Friday and I was able to participate for the first time, which made us both so happy!  Being able to do that kind of stuff with my son was one of the biggest reasons I had surgery, and I can't begin to describe the feelings it gives me....  I added a couple of pictures to my profile, even though I'm still not particularly comfortable with a camera in my face... *lol* This surgery and what it's done for me and my family is a real Blessing, and I'm so thankful I had enough guts to do it...

Flo -- Congratulations!!  You look FANTASTIC!!  I can't believe it's been nearly 6 months already!!!!   It's great to know that your pain has improved so much -- I'm looking forward to that for myself.   By the way, I found the Oh Yeah Protein Wafers (peanut butter).  They are pretty good.   Hope to see you soon.  Keep doin' what you're doin'!!!!!
