WOW Moments!
That is exatly my Oh moment. I cannot remember the last time I was able to cross my legs like a lady when sitting in a chair. The other day, I realized I was sitting like a lady with my legs crossed....and confortably so. No sleeping legs or cramps from crossing! And teh other Oh moment for me is being able to clean my feet in the shower without holding myself up. I am so much more limber now! Feels GREAT!
Oh my gosh! WOW moments? Every day! 207 lbs ago, before surgery, had been in a wheelchair and was using a walker (3 different types of arthritis, fybromalgia,sleep apnea, you name it...I had it). I was ready to quit work and just stay in bed. WELLLL, I have less pain, can stand up without having to sit down right away, no huffing and puffing just to get from one spot to another. FITTING in booths and airplane seats!!! People genuinely happy for me once they recognize me. My husband sitting in a chair across from me and just staring with love and amazement in his eyes. Bending over without passing out and yes, crossing my legs! Seeing the joy in the faces of my grown children when they tell me they're glad I'll be around for awhile.
Having confidence that I'm no longer "second class" in a department store. People are much more friendly and I'm not invisable any more. It has been an interesting journey and, even though it was difficult for me (I'm an "older" woman) It has been totally worth it! I could go on and on (and I have) but there is just so much joy in being the new me that I had to share!

Aren't collarbones weird. they were the first bone I felt and am stilled awed by them!!! How funny, collar bones and the dips in skin/flesh around them...cracks me up!! Feeling underneath my ribs cause my skin is next to my ribs with so much less fat around them. Who'd a thought, this would be where joy comes from!!
