Being able to wipe my behind without complications and back pain.

So I was drying off after my shower this morning and realized that drying certain hard to reach crevices is WAY easier then it was 2 months ago

Looking better

Feeling better

Enjoy hiking again

Travel with my husband

Fit on the back of his Harley

To not feel embarrassed or self conscious in public.

To have my husband be proud of me

To be more comfortable in the heat of summer and not DREAD it. And related to that - to be able to wear cool comfy summer things and enjoy beautiful weather. Maybe even fit in a bathing suit and go for a swim on a hot evening? THAT hasn't happened in literally YEARS!

And on then opposite end of the seasons - to button my coat and still be able to breathe. Maybe walk in a snowfall and not feel like I'm about to have a heart attack.

To live my life, not just endure it.

Lol well I can not wait to get there. Oh and I haven't seen my.lady in years

I heard that!!

I am already fantasizing about the "after surgery" sex with the hubby!

Looking forward to so so much but for starters...

Being able to wipe & reaching other vital areas to groom and maintain properly

Being able to shower without a shower chair because of 2 bulging discs in my back

Being able to shave my legs and it not half killing me twisting like a pretzel

Being able to get everything done in one shower (wash body/shave AND wash hair)

Being able to go from the couch & get into my bed without being out of breath

Being able to have clothes to wear not just pajamas

Being able to talk to someone after walking ANYWHERE

Being able to sit in a room full of people and NOT survey it to see if I am the biggest person in it

Being able to be comfortable because I'm constantly uncomfortable

Being able to be open with other people besides Doctors

Being able to wake up and move all day without constantly taking inventory of my aches and pains

Being able to say YES to everything (invites) because I can walk places and fit wherever..

I'm looking forward to:

BEING ABLE!!!

This is just the beginning for me...

I thought the same exact thing after my shower this morning. Shaving my legs is so much easier too. I will be at 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Looking forward to more new things to come.

[anm1063 24]

I can't wait to have a standard size towel wrap around me with excess! I am tired of using/buying bath sheets.

[mishab 10]

Rollar coaster.

Water park rides.

tights or nylons NOT from Lane Giant.

anything BUT fragrances from Victoria Secret.

boots.

a belt.

i dream of a columbia jacket size “L"

wearing my husbands sweatshirt and having it too big

wearing a pair of stilettos and not looking like a beer keg on stilts.

Sorry but "Lane Giant" cracked me up so bad. I seriously never heard that before and I can't stop giggling.

I'm trying to tell you...when I could no longer clean my back side without ease, I knew something had to be done. I would almost get muscle cramps in my back every time
