5 month update - KathleenF

[Guest guest]

Wow! What a difference 5 months makes. I'm 97 pounds lighter and

feeling good! I can get around so much better now. Last week I walked

across the Golden Gate Bridge (about a mile long) and back. I have been

wanting to do that for years, but just didn't have the stamina. It was

a beautiful day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Afterwards my friend

and I went to a Japanese restaurant and I fit in the booth -- with room

to spare. I find myself wanting to get out and do things more. I'm even

planning on flying out in October to visit my daughter in Georgia to

see my new grandbaby -- something I refused to consider before.

My recovery from surgery was virtually problem-free. The range of

foods that I can eat continues to expand. I have only occasional bouts

of gas which I can manage by avoiding certain foods and using Beano.

I feel good!

Sounds like this has opened up many new doors for you! I'm glad you're feeling

better, more active and able to get around! How old is your grandbaby...or is

this one that is on the way?

My granddaughter is 7 months old. She has a brother who's 4 1/2. I'm

still trying to adjust to being a grandmother and only 45. Now I'll get

to play with them!
