Just for Fun - Wish List for After Surgery
My date is Feb 9th. I am 56 years old. I am so excited! Just the thought of it has made me think of all the things that I have not been able to do for 50or more years. There are a few things that I am hell bent on doing after surgery They are:
Ride a Horse without worrying about the poor horse!
Jump out of an Airplane (with a parachute of course) at age 60
Wear a bathing suit to the beach without feeling like I will be mistaken for a whale
Actually go swimming in a crowd of people when we stay at a hotel with our grandchildren
Climb to the top and Slide down a water slide at a big water park!
Try on a formal white wedding dress in a small size that will fit. (I was married in a blue dress because I couldn't find a white one that would fit when I married in 1970. ( the selections were not as good as they are today )
Go to a formal new years eve party and dance the night away.
Take Salsa Lessons
Run a 5K
There are so many things that I can't even begin to list them all.
OK all you Pre or Post Ops who are anticipating surgery or have had it and are in the process of finding the inner you.................Post your wish list.

Don't call it a wish list. Call it a "Will Do" list. I have no doubt that you will be able to do everything on this list. Although why anyone wants to jump out of a perfectly good airplane is beyond me!!! LOL!
Good luck on your upcoming surgery. It'll be here before you know it. My one year anniversary was this wednesday and it seems like it was just a few weeks since I had my surgery. Time flies when you're having fun and enjoying life more!!

The first thing I wanted to do was to be able to walk to the top of Clingmans Dome, which I accomplished in July. I about had a stroke but I made it!!
Buy clothes that arent plus sized-- now a size 6-8.
Cross my legs-- sit that way all the time now.
Go on an airplane without a belt extender-- flew for the 1st time in September to Florida.
Start dancing again. Hubby and I used to go all the time.
Get healthy and off meds-- I only take a water pill now (besides my now required meds). Still working on the healthy part. For the most part I am, just right now I'm waiting to find out if I have to have my gallbladder removed. Dr. McDowell is bound and determined that I'm going to put both his kids through college!!! LOL!!

Salsa and Belly Dancing classes
Camping, hiking, exploring with Connor.
Be physically able to help my parents as they get older.
Be around to be the "obnoxious" Mom for a long, long, long time for Connor.
Retire with my friends (who are my found family)
Thank you for starting this, it is a great fun idea!!!

I'm with Melissa-perfectly good planes are meant to be inside of!!! Some of these things I could have already done if I hadn't had the neck and shoulder surgical year from h&*l!
Snow ski, ice skate, hike all the trails in the Smokeys (eventually), travel to Ireland.
Some of the things I have already done:
Spend the entire day at Dollywood with the nephews, run all the way through the Dollywood parking lot with them, shop my sister under the table!

Jump out of an airplane? I'll be happy just to sit in a seat without an extender! But I always was a chicken! LOL
I want to:
Walk, not waddle.
Go to Biltmore at Christmas and see everything!
Get on a water slide and scream all the way down.
Wear a heel higher than 1/2 inch. Or just wear cute shoes.
Go to Cane Creek Park, walk around the little lake there with DH & dog, and watch my dog go swimming.
Go on a cruise and do more than park on a deck chair with a book. Not that I don't dream of that, but I'd hate for that to be the only thing I can do.
Burn my Granny pants and wear something sexy. Hey, not everyone can carry off glamor at a big size like Miss Piggy.

Don't litter! Spay or neuter your pet
OMG! The Biltmore.......The one and only time I went I thought I was going to die before I got back to my car. It is quite a journey to walk the whole thing.
It is really funny to hear what is inside of us. We are just little people in a big body aren't we?
Ii hope that we all get our wishes soon! Please let me know if and when you get your dreams. Make them your reality
