This is just a funny little thought for today!

There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Dude! Or how about excess skin!

You are too funny girlfriend.. and lets not get started on talking about pants!! I am frustrated today! Katy gave me some really cute jeans (size 6) and they fit just fine before but now they are getting baggy and I keep having to pull them up.. I know boo freaking hoo huh? Well, if I had money to buy new pants it wouldn't be a big deal... this is the worst part of having surgery.. but heck I'll take it any day!! Oh wait.. maybe NOW I could buy a belt.. dang me I found something positive in this whole thing.. I can finally wear a belt.. I'm going shopping tonight!! LOL

Amen at having to pull up the size 6's, you go girl, you have come so far from that pickle eating fresh post op. And Pam I hear ya on the boney butt, sheesh, I actually got an open sore on my coccyx from the bone sharp edge continuously grinding on my thin skin, and there isn't much skin there at all. Sandi keep your pants on!

Christina

Yes, I have come a long way from only being able to tollerate pickles post-op. I had a few complications which have weeded themselves out. I still don't eat as much as others, but I try. Sometimes I eat way more than I should.. but dang it for having to go for so long without solid food, I love meat now!! LOL

I just can't get enough!! (you know those 4 bites of it!!) LOL
