Still have NSV "moments" at 5 yrs out. Have I mentioned lately...

 Nice to know someone else knows who she is, LOL.  Sometimes I feel like a cultural "relic", LOL.

 Congrats!
I seriously expect you to post pictures of yourself at Haloween! 

Well, I DO already have a somewhat low-cut "Morticia Addams" dress (complete with the funky bottm that drags the floor) from last Halloween, so I suppose I could buy a pointed hat and green face paint for this year... And I DO feel "wicked"/naughty a lot... :) Lora

Your post made me smile this morning Lora. I've had some similar moments recently myself.

I don't think I will ever again take for granted fitting in a restaraunt booth or on a bar stool, for example. And being able to walk - what a joy! And although I have not been allowed to run again after I lost the weight due to blowing out my knee when I weighed 345lbs, I *can* walk for miles and miles once more and it is like heaven. I can also crawl on the floor with my grandson and get back up without hurting myself. Those 3 things are just off the top of my head - there is so much more!

Thanks for reminding me. This surgery gave me a slew of health problems but it also gave me back my LIFE, and if I die a little sooner at least I will have truly lived again before then.=)

 Theater seats--One broke under me once. I sat in it for the rest of the performance by pressing my feet on the floor and pushing on the armrest. I have no memory of what we saw that night.

Wicked--Read the book, thought it needed serious editing; great concept, good writing, but bloated.

Your NSV is wonderful. Wiggle room!
