Guest guest Posted July 5, 2000 Report Share Posted July 5, 2000 I hope everyone had a good long weekend with their families and friends and enjoyed the fireworks. We missed the parade yesterday as we were packing and cleaning house in preparation for our move at the end of the month. However we did go to the fireworks and how much easier it was this year for me! Last year my parents were visiting and we decided to walk the 1.5 miles to the school where we could sit & watch the fireworks. We each carried a chair and walked. I believe I was also pushing the stroller part way last year. I remember my ankles were swollen, my knees ached, my back hurt from the chair slung across it & I was sweating and tired & cranky when we arrived. This year we decided to walk again my husband, myself & our 2 girls. I carried a chair & pushed the stroller .. we made the trip 1.5 miles (one way) in record time ... and when I got there I felt fine! I wasn't tired, hot, out of breath or anything! In fact after we set up I continued on down the road to the corner store to buy us each a drink & JOGGED back to where my family was sitting. JOGGED & NOT out of breath. What a difference!!!!!!! Anyway I am truly thankful for this life saving changing surgery .. I never would be where I am now without it and for that I am so glad I found my surgeon, my ins paid and that I had no complications. Have a great day!
