November 18, 201213 yr Here's some things I'm looking forward to after surgery. Please add yours too! Buying clothes that don't have an X or W in the size Not stressing about seatbelts on airplanes Crossing my legs!! Buying cute bras and matching panties Not struggling to get socks and undies on Working out at gym like i used to Participating in 5K (or more) again Not huffing and puffing from car to work Seeing my neck again Painting my own toenails (well I do like a good pedi but to have the option to do it myself would be nice) No longer unintentionally knocking things off the table, etc. with my butt Feeling good!
November 18, 201213 yr All of the above plus... Not having to worry about fitting in booths Being able to have a laptop on my lap Being able to comfortably move down aisles in an airplane Weighing less than my husband! Getting rid of some of my joint pain
November 18, 201213 yr those are two very good lists i will add to those hold my grandchildren on my lap (you know the one that doesn't see, to be there right now) carry my youngest grandchild more than a couple of feet without having to put him down. taking a nice long walk and enjoying it have motivation to paint again accept more invitations to things instead of being such a homebody.
November 18, 201213 yr Riding the Slush Cup race with my daughter Wearing a pencil skirt with knee high boots Running my first 5k Going out in public in a bathing suit
November 18, 201213 yr Rollar coaster. Water park rides. tights or nylons NOT from Lane Giant. anything BUT fragrances from Victoria Secret. boots. a belt. i dream of a columbia jacket size “L" wearing my husbands sweatshirt and having it too big wearing a pair of stilettos and not looking like a beer keg on stilts.
November 18, 201213 yr wearing a pair of stilettos and not looking like a beer keg on stilts. LOL I know exactly what you mean!!
November 18, 201213 yr "Lane Giant" I love it! LOL All of the above ladies, plus the not getting overlooked at an interview even though I have better credentials.
November 18, 201213 yr Ugg boots that fit my calf Northface coat heck a winter coat for that matter A necklace 18"
November 18, 201213 yr Whoohoooo. I did not really comprehend how far I've come until I realized I have or can do almost everything on the above lists, except cute bras and panties and the 5 K run! Wow. I remember posting on what I wanted on a post just like this, wondering at the time if it would ever happen! Here it is 5 months later and just wow! I should go find they list and see how I'm doing.
November 18, 201213 yr I look forward to being able to carry my daughter without my ankles giving out. She has CP and cannot walk. I have fallen with her in my arms 3 times due to my ankles or a knee giving out. Thankfully she has never been hurt. She is only 34lbs and I worry about what I will do when she gets older and heavier. And all of the above that everyone else wrote. Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!!
November 18, 201213 yr "Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!! " for the record - even the tiny girls look like sausages stuffed into thigh highs - the secret is getting a large enough size - they sell those at Torrid and I’ve been known to put a size 6 in a 2x torrid thigh high.
November 19, 201213 yr I still need to do it standing up. Buy cute bra. Everything else thanks god I manage to do.

November 19, 201213 yr I agree but I got a big booty naturally so that won't change. I wanna add getting on roller coasters..... and I just don't like having huge arms and a big belly.
November 19, 201213 yr ooooo i keep thinking of more - a thong - and not the kind that you wonder why the hell did that girl just wear a triangle in the front....
