Misc. Ramblings

I have had a chance to do much thinking over the last few weeks. In particular, I have been thinking about how my life has changed since my surgery. The changes have been all GREAT. My journey has been trouble free and I have not had any complications. I would not hesitate to have this surgery again. When I attended my last support group meeting, the doctor spoke on the psychosocial aspects related to this surgery. Although it was stuff that I had heard or thought about before, it was an interesting topic. I am glad that he spoke on it because it fits pretty well into my life right now. Since the new found physical me has arrived, I have had more dates in 6 weeks than I ever had previously in probably the 5 years that I have been in Atlanta. During this time, I have come to see a side of me that I did not know existed. And believe me, it ain't exactly the kind of thing that your parents would be proud of either. I guess you could say that I am like a kid on Christmas morning-I want to open all the presents NOW! But is that a smart to do? Probably not. I guess I am saying this to remind everyone (I am definitely not trying to get religious here) " To Whom Much is Given, Much is Required". Life after surgery gives us so much. In return, we MUST realize that MUCH is required of us to become and stay successful. Someone e-mailed me and told me to protect myself physically, emotionally and financially. I couldn't agree more. A little exercise in restraint wouldn't hurt either.

Hey, Big Yank!!! No sermon here, though you know I'm tempted!!! I am glad that you know to be cautious. Sometimes, we have a tendency to cross-addict. Try to make sure it's healthy. I WISH I could get "in" to exercise. (I tend to count walking down the halls at school and kicking my legs in the spa. Well, it does hurt!) I think you may already be doing the exercise thing, Mr. Bicycle Man! Try to avoid the instant gratification thing. Hold out for His best...like the special someone the Lord has for special you! Oh shot, that's a sermon. Sorry, but I love you!!!! Hugs, Becky
