5 ? guess its my turn

1. what is your biggest WOW moment pre or post op? I am still pre-op and my biggest wow moment was a bad one. It was the day I went to get in the car and could not fit behind the wheel. It was devastating! 2. what is/was your greatest fear as a child? As a young child, being left alone... as an older child, my parents divorcing and having to choose 3. do you feel you were loved enough as a child? I know my parents love me... they did not always show it the way I feel they should have. They could have done better, but I turned out okay... I think. 4.IF you could be any one else for a day who would it be? I'm not sure... I guess someone rich and famous and beautiful to see how the other side lives. Maybe even a man too... to be able to stand up and pee! LOL 5. what is one of your greatest dreams for the years to come? For my family to win the lottery and become rich, famous, and beautiful and be the other side. (ref #4) LOL If not, I'd be happy to be healthy, not live paycheck to paycheck, and to start a family and live the ultimate "soccer mom" life.

1. what is your biggest WOW moment pre or post op? Walking 2 miles regularly. 2. what is/was your greatest fear as a child? The Dark. 3. do you feel you were loved enough as a child? I'm not sure what enough is, but I was loved as much as my parents knew how to. 4.IF you could be any one else for a day who would it be? Angelina Jolie.... Brad Pitt, hello!!! 5. what is one of your greatest dreams for the years to come? Getting my degree and being "normal" sized. Also, having warm healthy relationships with the ones that mean the most to me.

1. Post op - I put my cane away behind the door in the middle bedroom and am now walking (easier every day) without it. My future pre-op included a wheelchair, so this is definitely my biggest WOW so far. 2. Being on display in any way, shape or fashion ... and that included the piano recitals, the dance class (can you say "little hippo in a tutu"?) recitals, etc. It was torture. 3. Was lucky enough to grow up in a classic 50s household, with "June and Ward Cleaver" for my parents. Definitely love overflowed in our house. 4. Don't know that I'd want to be anyone else ever. Maybe when I was younger I would have answered this one differently, but being 55 gives one a different perspective ... I'm me. 5. To live normally, healthily, and happily. My daughters look at me sort of like I've flipped my wig when I get so excited over the little advantages that are happening every day since surgery ... they just don't understand that it feels as if I've been "Rip Van Winkle" for the last 30 years, and am "re-awakening" right now to how life is SUPPOSED to be! Good questions!! Myra
