I am Rosie Dehli Kristi. I am the author of the poem. I am well and about 10 plus years out of surgery. Would do it again in a minute. Life is soooo good. Working every day to be healthy and fulfill the life that God intended for me to live. It is so exciting to know that there was a surgeon and his staff who could and would love me and care for me to bring me to health and encourage me to reach my potential. My responsibility is to continue to learn and lead a life of discipline and planning for the gift of life that I have been blessed to receive. Love to you all Rosie Dehli

To whom it may concern: I want to live. I want to be healthy. I want energy. I want to be in control. I want to walk without pain and stand without pain. I want normal legs that are not swollen. I want normal ankles and feet that are not swollen. I want to sleep comfortably at night without pain in my legs, feet and hips. I want to be able to sleep a good night's sleep. I want to have no pain in my back from the load that is on the front. I want to have energy to do what normal people do. I want to be able to walk...and walk with my daughter. I want to be able to walk up stairs. I want to be able to get out of a chair...and be able to sit in any chair and not worry that it is going to break. I want to sit on the floor and play with my grandchildren...and get up again. I want to tie my shoes and put on panty hose. I want to know that the seat belt will fit. I want to be able to entertain people in my home without having my body ache for days afterwards. I want to be able to clean my house and do my chores like normal people do. I want to go on a trip with my husband and not worry about being tired and so very scared that I won't be able to make it. I want to be able to stand up in church without pain. I want to dance. I want people to look at me and see the best part of me, not the fat. I want to see acceptance on peoples faces when I walk into a room...and never again feel the pain of rejections and disgust and inferred weakness of will. I want to not be the butt of jokes about my size. I want to be close to people and not be afraid to give them the best of me. I want to FINALLY be successful in this lifetime battle. I don't want to fail again. .......I want to be healthy............I want to have energy.......... .............................I want to be in control.............................. ......................I WANT TO LIVE......................
