Thanks everyone for replying

Well, I guess it must have been something I said,lol. I have

certainly gotten an ear full of both the dreaded " diatribe " tool

lecture and other warm well wishes. I am very thankful that you all

are such a caring bunch. I do think I was under the wrong impression

from my surgeon's message board (which has been my only source of

support for the past 17 months) that this was going to be a little

harder to undo than it has proven to be.

I appreciate all of the good advice and I will have to be more

careful now that I see a clearer picture of what is possible to

accomplish without diligence on my part. I was simply upset that I

had been getting such bad advice on the other board as that had been

my lifeline to success. I feel bad that I didn't try to form better

habits when it would have been easier to do. Learning to ride this

bike all over again is going to take some doing. I do not ever want

to go back to where I came from. I like my life now. My post was

motivated out of fear and concern for what I have been recently

reading.

Again, thanks to all for the great advice and for taking the time to

reply.
