What Is It Like To Not "wonder"?

I wonder what it is like to walk up to the ticket counter at the airport and not wonder if they will make me buy another seat because I am too big?

I wonder what it will be like to be offered a seat in one of those stupid plastic chairs and not wonder how soon the legs would buckle when I sat down.

I wonder what it will be like to go to a mall and walk into my favorite store and not have to wonder where the "plus sizes" are at.

I wonder what it will be like to walk into a restaurant and not have to wonder if they are sitting me in a table because I'm too big for a booth.

I wonder what it will be like to walk hand in hand with my husband and not have to wonder if people are thinking he shouldn't be with me because I'm too big.

I can't wait not to wonder anymore!!!! Come on November 12!!!!!

Great post and congrats on your upcoming surgery! The 3rd point really hits home, I can't wait until that day. They always put the plus sizes back in the corner and seem like they are hidden when you go to a new store and I hate asking for where this section is located.

I wonder how wealthy you would be if you were a professional writer. Awesome! Good luck on the 12th.And from then on, it will be wonder-ful!!!

Thank you both for the sweet comments!!! Sure does help to tap down what is on my mind while it is fresh!!! Lord knows it doesn't happen often enough!!!!

i can relate to every one of those "wonders". We will all be there someday because we have (or in your case will soon have) the right tool to get us there.

Keep us posted on your journey!
