Re: Still on a DS High after 5 1/2 years

[Guest guest]

Jo - Like Lynn said of Kym - you are a walking, talking, breathing

advertistment for (the success of) this surgery. You're such an

inspiration. But THIS writing truly brought tears to my eyes! My

ugliest before=picture is one of me seated on the couch surrounded by

little grandkids - and one huge belly. Thanks for reminding me to be

forever grateful!

Bobbe in Paso Robles. 10-19 yrs old=152. Highest=285 & 24/3X. 3/03

DS=268 down to 137/12-14. Today=155/14. Will settle for 148!

I love hearing the gratitude even after all these years Great

story Jo!!!

I too think the DS has effected my relationships - I know I'm more

active mom because of the DS. I never take for granted the fact I can

get on the floor with my kids or they actually have a lap to sit on.

I can fit with them on the kiddie rides. I get to hear

Still feeling blessed after 5 1/2 years.

Aw Jo, it is a blessing still. I know how you feel. I will be 5

years out in Dec. (where oh where does the time go?) And I still am

amazed at times.

Like you I went to the fair, but to see my quilts. And happened to

run into our local papers photographer who wanted a pic of me by one

of my quilts. She said to squat by it.....I thought - I DONT SQUAT -

but I did and I got up without help....that would have never happened

before, ever! So to me the miracle was that I could squat! And the

pic didnt turn out half bad either....

What a blessing.

love you

Sharon, I can't let this one pass: I swear you told me you have had

to squat on the side of the road up and down the canyon. Didn't you

say that? lol

***Going for a visit isn't such a bad Idea! I really wanted to go

when you had your grand opening but just couldn't make it. Perhaps

someday...

Congrats on a wonderful showing at the fair! Aloha to your Kona quilt!
