Haven't been here in a while
I've been so busy with school and life that I haven't spent much time on the boards in the last year or so. I'll be 2 years out in August and am very close to goal. I'm right on my personal target to meet my goal by 2 years out, so I'm very excited about that. I've had a lot of NSV in the last couple of years. I used to have trouble fitting behind the stearing wheel and had to leave the side arm up because I couldn't fit comfortably with it down and now I almost feel lost in the driver's seat. I walk all over campus and even park at the back of the parking lot when I go shopping without even thinking about it. This last weekend I went shopping and actually made a bee-line for the "medium" clothes. The list of good things that have happened since surgery is long and wonderful. This past weekend it really kind of hit me where I am now. I don't stand out anywhere except with my sparkling personality. I don't limit anything I do or try and people respond to my improved attitude about life and myself. Still a work in progress and I'm sure I always will be. Loving life!
