Fat lazy pre-op needs kick in da butt
swimming will help with the weight loss and the arthritis and sometimes you just have to take (2) tablets and go out there anyway. Make sure you are trying to get in your minimum of 64 ounces of non-carbonated/diet/decaf fluids (water, crystal light, decaf tea) to ensure that your joints can move more freely. This surgery is not for weinies you're going to be dredging up emotional and physical baggage, now is not the time to whine and moan that it's too hard and what not...get out and go. ANDI
