Happy 4th of July :-)

Jul 04, 2015

Hope everyone has had a Happy 4th of July! My daughter, some friends of mine, and I went to a local fireworks show. They had venders selling food and things like glow sticks for the kids. In previous years I would park the car, set up our chairs and not move till the show was over. This year after setting up our chairs, I asked Jordyn (my daughter) if she wanted to walk around with me, and I think I surprised her. We walked all around looking at things, and we each got a shaved ice treat (they had sugar free flavors!!), then walked back to where we had set things up. It was nice to move around and look at things and I really felt like I earned the treat of my shaved ice. My knees are hurting now, but it was so worth it. 

And once I got back home, I tried on a pair of stretch jean capris a friend gave me. They are size 26 (which I haven't fit into in FOREVER) and I was sure they wouldn't fit yet, but I wanted to see how much I'd have to lose to fit into them. Well, to my shock and surprise, they fit!!! I can get them up and buttoned and zipped and everything!! They're still too tight to wear in public, especially around my knees and thighs, but it fits!! I'm so happy! I was looking at my one month pictures, and honestly I don't see a difference from before surgery to now, but fitting in smaller clothes really makes it hit home that I am losing. Happy Dance!!
