Woohoo! One Year! Lots of Pics & Advice (Long)
Congrats and Happy Surgiversary! I remember when I first joined OH just after my surgery. Your posts always got my attention. You've set a great example for us. Thanks for your honesty and encouragement. I love the pics in your new dresses! Can't wait to see that much extra seatbelt the next time I fly! I took a picture the first time I could put my tray all the way down on a flight! Continued succuss and happiness to you! You are one fabulous sleever!

felicity -- you look and sound wonderful!!!! love the pix!! and you're right about all the stages and challenges -- and all the joys too. i could relate to so many things you said. i loved your nsv's and smiled to see 3 of my faves: crossing my legs (wheeeeeeeee), fitting into airplance seatbelts (never thought i'd see that day) and fitting into restaurant booths!!
you're sticking to a much stricter plan than i am (i'm sticking to what i was told, it's just different) and doing a bunch of exercise, which i'm still trying to get myself to do, so i was totally impressed with that!!!
altogether a real day-brightener! (((((((((hugs)))))))) and BRAVO!!!!!!
