Hi, Leslie.
Congratulations on your 6-year surgiversary! That's awesome! I love hearing from someone who is farther along on the journey, especially years out. You've done so well. That's great. It sounds like you have a great outlook on post-op life, and have found what works for you.
I'm one year out and halfway to goal. Sometimes I feel great about that, sometimes I feel not so great about that. I guess I'm content but not satisfied. There's much work still needing to be done in me. :)
Blessings,
Mary
