Miris 32 Posted November 20, 2012 Im starting a thread on things you cant wait to do/accomplish after surgery.. I can't wait... for that moment where I don't have to use a beach towel after a shower! till I can ride my bike with my daughter without my tire going flat the moment I hop on the bike! to give my daughters a bath with out running out of breath! till I can take my boyfriend out on a date to his favorite place Six Flags without being in fear that the security lock on the roller coaster wont fit me or I wont fit in the seat period! till I can play hide n seek with my daughter and be able to run without feeling like I'm about to collapse! till food is no longer something I seek for comfort yet only for necesity because my body needs nutrients not because my emotions need to be fed! 9 SKNYMEBY47, Dawn, tlynn4love and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The list could go on and on haha... 3 Miris, brattyAsh and BrnButrfly2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
