lol that is so funny!  I did think of that song and the movie too, it all made sense, sort of an "aha" moment.  I was pretty chilled when I got on the bus, I did not freak out or anything, but I had a huge smile on my face.  Thank you for your reply, its so true its the little things that make life worthwhile, especially when things are changing so quickly.

Thank you very much.  Were you ever a runner pre-op or did you start for the first time post-op?

I tried a Learn to Run clinic pre-op and quit. Then I tried it post-op, and at goal weight, and quit. Then I tried it again, and it got better.....the next thing I knew I was able to run 10k steady by the 18 months post-op. Now I'm training for my third marathon!

Wow, good to know how you came ot be a runner. I admire your determination!  Do you have to wear any special stuff to run, like a leg brace? Pre-op I was told no running because of my knee, it just hurt too much too.  I am going to see my sports medicine doc and see what he says now that I am 100 pounds lighter.  He mentioned I should wear a brace for more intense stuff, not sure what he will say now.
