Hey all.... I was sitting at a meeting yesterday am, with some new business partners, and I had pushed my chair back from the boardroom table. I was nodding to the speaker and thinking "gosh, I hope he doesn't go on and on and on on this point," and I crossed my legs and settled in as he did go on and on and on. About 2 minutes later, I suddenly looked down at my legs. For the past 20 years, when I'd cross my legs it'd be an ankle sitting on a knee style. Yesterday, it was a knee right over top of a knee -- comfortably lounging in a chair! I didn't sputter or say a thing, I just looked at my legs, and thought  to myself...."man, is this cool or what?" Thanks one and all here for the help and support in getting this far. Oh I know I've still got like 65 lbs to go...but I'm just so DANG happy! Jim

Jim, Way to go!  I'm looking forward to being able to do that myself about 6 months from now.

Jim, isn't that a great feeling?  I'm noticing that as well.  Not quite knee to knee yet but getting close. Congrats!!!

I thought I was alone in noticing this. I love to sit and watch TV while crossing my legs now. Before surgery I would pull my legs beside me and lean over towards the arm of the couch. It may not sound comfy, but at the time it was. Anyway, I enjoy my new "comfy" position better.  Good Goin" Jim!

Great one Jim!!  You're doing great! Had to chuckle when I read this as I had the exact same experience a couple weeks ago - was sitting with some clients and just happened to look down and noticed I had crossed my legs - knee over knee - and had apparently been sitting that way for a bit without even noticing.   Steve

Jim, That was one of my favorite ‘new things.’ Amazing how such a little thing can make you feel, Just because it used to be Impossible….. Someone who hasn’t "Been There" wouldn’t understand that one at all….. Keep it Up!!! Best Wishes- Dx
