My surgeon

[Fluffnomore 1,235]

Ok I didn't want to start a new thread but my husband found this picture today..

This was me in July of 2012 a couple of months before surgery..

All the way to the kayak place I worried that I wouldn't even fit into a kayak anymore

I fit (barely) but after a couple of hours of kayaking when I pulled up to the dock I couldn't physically get myself out! I had to rest for awhile then when I finally was able to hoist myself out and roll onto the dock I had to sit there for about five minutes because I could not stand up on my own...

:

Can you believe that was LAST YEAR? Wow. It's sobering, and inspiring all at once. I wonder how I will feel (and what I will find, photo wise) late next year...

That was a painful day.. Emotionally and physically. I'm so glad I chose to do something about it instead of settling for that misery...

But I tell you fluff, looking at that photo made me down right giddy today! I was snickering like a school girl

I wanna go back and kick that kayaks azz next time!

It's a good day at vertical sleeve land

Wow, Laura! What a difference a year makes.

How fantastic, Laura! I'm so glad you worked your tail off - literally ;-P
