Ok Miss Kathy, Here is mine. I am sure I could find more, but done this on the quick. By the way, these are NOT in order of importance. 1.Fasten my car seatbelt w/out an ext. 2.Fly on a plane w/out an ext. 3.Go on a cruise. There is a lot of walking on cruises. 4.Walk in general w/out hurting. 5.WEAR MY JEANS!!! (I miss them) 6.Feel GOOD about myself. 7.Ride an amusement park ride. 8.Ride a bike w/ my Granddaughter. First thing she ask when I told her I was having the surgery next Thurs. 9.Shake these blues. I do try to stay upbeat, but it's hard sometimes. 10.Go back to work!!!!! Sara.

Kathy, am I the only pre-op out here? I thought this board was full of us. Come on peoples, lets give this a try. It didn't take me long to compile my little list & it gives me something to look forward to after the surgery just meeting these goals. Sara.
