NSV - I can run!!
Today I ran - really, really ran. Had a race with my 7-year-old son in the schoolyard to see who'd get to the doors first. OK, I didn't win, but I RAN ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE YARD. I didn't stop and I wasn't totally out of breath at the end. His response was, "Wow Mommy - you're really fast! I never saw you run before." How's that for victory?? Thank you RNY.
It's a nice feeling isn't it!!! Recently I was running at the park with 2 dogs and my son in law commented to my wife who was watching me," I didn't know he could run." Yep, I can run but haven't been able to for years until after the surgery. Unfortunately, when I was walking our dog I damaged my knee and now need surgery there too, but, I know that will get better also.
