Hihi all- I'm new at this

[Hnybear5150 43]

Longtime lurker-Newbie member.....many many months of reading almost everything on here...I wasn't going to join until I had something to say. I know it sounds silly but after months of reading, thinking and making things happen it just hit me that all of this.....all of everyones fears, trials, tears and struggles will be my own in 2.5 weeks. In 2.5 weeks my whole life changes forever. wow. so after a mini panic attack and 1/2 a bottle of wine, I realized that all of the amazing things the everyone goes through will be mine as well. I wont be carrying around a 2nd person on my body. I will be able to walk up the stairs...around the mall...pretty much everywhere without hurting and running out of breath. I wont have to ignore the mirror because I just cant look at myself anymore. I will FINALLY have some control and finally enjoy life the way I see everyone else having. So. That's what I wanted to say. I hope I can make friends who are seasoned veterans and some who are new at this as well.
