Yesterday was my 2 year surgery re-birth. I say re-birth rather than surgiversary because for me, it was truly getting my life back. Nothing (and I do mean nothing) is the same! I have more thoughts to post, but for now I just want to put this out there and include my photos from the morning or surgery and yesterday.

Okay, because I am getting a little obsessive, I'm going to reply to my own post. I did figure out how to put my two pictures together into one photo, but cannot figure out how to have it show up either within the post or in my signature. The best I can do is links: http://inlinethumb19.webshots.com/22674/2400192270026500359S 600x600Q85.jpg However, in the process of doing this, I ended up with a very cool picture in the link below. I superimposed my current photo onto my pre-op one. Because my position is almost the same, I could really see the difference! Take a look...
