susancwalker2008 70 Posted February 13, 2013 I am just so happy to feel so supported in this journey. My surgery is on Feb. 18. Today is my birthday and instead of getting yummies like cake and cupcakes from my lovely teacher family, I have gotten flowers and fruit, and even a yummy protien smoothy from my besty. I am a teacher for students with autism. I am constantly moving and chasing kiddos. I have six adorable runners in my class. It takes a toll on my body, because of the weight. I am looking forward to being able to chase them down with ease. Not to mention actually run in the Autism Speaks 5K next fall. So I know I'm luckty to have such support. I know people don't always feel that way and if you are one of those folks, please just know that I support you. Someone you don't know, but who actually cares that you are doing this for yourself. This journey is so not going to be as easy as I had thought, but well worth it. Have an awesome day!!
