Milestone

I was able to put my shoes and socks on by myself yesterday.  That is so cool.  It was so embarassing before when I couldn't.  I also walked for a mile.  I feel awesome, and I am so glad I had this surgery.

I want to address something that people might think.  I did not take the easy way out.  This journey has been rough.  I had to go through a liquid diet for 14 days.  I have had to relearn how to eat.  I have had to excersise.  This has been no picnic.  The surgery was a tool.  The rest is up to me.  Having the surgery is like having power steering in your car.  You can still run into a ditch.  What I do with this new lease is up to me.  It is my journey and I can choose to screw it up, or make it positive.  I choose to make it positive.

Tomorrow is my post op appointment.  I am excited to see how far I have come.  It is also Belsis' pre op.  So I will be hanging with her all day.
