A Newbie to the 60's group.

I really am new. I am 66 years old and just starting the steps. I only need 2 more things to get done. I am hoping that it does not take too long for Medicare to approve me. I am getting excited. Medicare gave me a new knee last year, and I have been losing ever since i could start walking around again. So many chores had piled up and still not done. I also had surgery done on my c spine, it was poking into my spinal cord, it came out great also. So now that I can walk good and raise my arms up, I want to be healthy in the other ways also. I also have Neuropathy also. So wish me luck, and lots of success.....:crying:

Thank you so much for the good words. Yes I hope to be a new woman. Today I helped put up a new fence for the dogs. I had the gates moved in so I have a long driveway to park the cars in. I was getting tired of opening up the gates, then get out of the car and close the gates. Chase down the dogs and etc. Of course the exercise is good..lol..But when winter really gets here, I won't have to shovel the gates out so I can get out of my yard. Since my DH has COPD and congestive heart failure no help there.

Enough of this..

Guess what, I have a surgery date. Nov 24, 2008. I am getting so excited. How do I put a ticker up. I am down 20lbs. I am on day 2 of all liquid Protein. Would be nice to lose more lbs before surgery. The nice thing is i won't gain it back.
