LIVE LIFE. . .
Aug 07, 2012
Recently I had my, now 14 yo, granddaughter up for a visit, that same one, who was part of the reason I made the decision to have WLS. When I asked her, at 9 what she wanted for her birthday, she had wanted me to go to Disneyworld with her, that was just not happening because my weight and mobility factor were quite different than it is today. . . We never did make it to Disney, but not because I can't, more because I have not been inclined to go there and since she lives close to it, she gets there enough. What I did more recently was take her, on July 4th to NYC, where we walked crosstown, took the subways, walked the WTC Memorial, from there to Battery Park, stood in the sun waiting for the ferry to Liberty Island, walked the Island and then back where we walked to the subway again and found our way back to my car. . . and a few days later, we did the same thing in Philadelphia, walked and walked and saw the different sites, both days involved close to 8 hours of walking in 90+ temps, enjoying my granddaughter, now that is the reason I had WLS in the first place. . . to LIVE LIFE and as I look back on what life was once like, I am grateful and happy with the choice I've made, even with some regain, I am not giving up on ever getting down to the weight I want to be at, but I AM healthier and more able to LIVE LIFE than ever and I am 57 years young . . .
