Wow, thank you all so much. This journey has had so man ups and downs and this is really the first time in that nine years where I've felt okay accepting that. Some perceptions take a really long time to change, but the surprises are usually pretty great.

Congratulations to you on 9 years of dedication and joy in the whole process! You are an inspiration and teacher to me and I appreciate the time you take to post and share your wisdom and stories.

And I've started running a lot, too - just because I can!!

Best wishes for many, many more years of health and happiness!
