Things I took for granted until I lost the ability to do them

Feb 08, 2009

1.  Sitting Indian Style
2. Tying shoes without struggle
3. Walking 5 feet without getting winded
4. Wearing a pair of Levi Jeans
5. Being in a car and the seatbelt fit
6. Being able to shop like a normal person not with that electronic riding cart
7. Sitting in public seating comfortably...(plane,bus, train, movie theater)
8.Doing the simplist of things in life without it feeling like a huge mountain climb.


These are the reasons I think of when I ask myself if I really want this surgery.  After reading these things, the answer is always YES. For all these things I cannot do anymore, i know when I am able to do them again, I will never take them for granted again. They say everything happens for a reason.  Perhaps I am morbidly obese to learn that life is precious and that I need to slow down and see the things I might otherwise overlook.  Stopping to smell the roses.  Lesson Learned now lets get  my health back so I can LIVE and enjoy the simple things life has to offer.
