Question of the day

What have you done since surgery that you weren't able to do before.. I'll start I bought a swim suit and for the first time ever left Dillards with out being depressed. This past weekend we went to the lake and rode the sea doo's. I haven't been on one in 14 years....

Hi Dianna, I rode horses today with my husband. We rode about 12 miles. I love it! It is so quiet and relaxing. It is a very peaceful way to spend your time. My life is so different today than it was one year ago. Janna 09/03/03 -126

Wow, the list is endless for me. 1. Wear a seat belt that doesn't cut my air off. 2. Ride roller coasters with my son. 3. Bend over to tie my shoes, and not feel like I'm going to pass out. 4. Walk without being winded. 5. Work all day and not cry all the way home because my feet hurt. 6. Sit on the floor and be able to get up. 7. Tuck my shirt in and look good. 8. Ride bikes with my son. 9. Seat belts on an airplane fitting. (with lots of room to spare) 10. Being able to weigh on a regular scale. 11. Wear shorts and look good. 12. Wear heels and not limp home. 13. Not having to hear someone say, "You'd be so pretty if you only lost weight." (I hated that) 14. Climb 6 flights of stairs and still be able to breathe at the top. The list goes on and on, but you get the picture. lol Lorinda
