I know what you mean. My biggest passion was golf. I had tickets for the US Open a few years ago but couldn't go. My weight and the increased pressure of sciatica in my back made walking impossible. I never felt so low as that moment. I had clubs and all the gear but I was really too large to play. Swinging the club was nearly impossible and wreaked havoc on my body.
However, I'm proud to admit that I was on the course last summer strutting my stuff and out pacing those much smaller than myself. Aside from improved health and an increasingly positive self-image, the surgery restored something I loved dearly. I'm certain you'll feel the same in the months to come.
