Default My Journey, 1 Year Anniversary......

Hi Friends,

My one year anniversary is coming up on May 18 and I have just added a new album under my profile pebitpeb, "My Journey". I have photos taken over the past 5 years of my life and if you click on any photo there is a caption attached.

It is hard to believe that only one year ago I was preparring to go into a hospital in Pisa, Italy and receive an operation that would give me a wonderful new life. Getting the surgery had become something that I had given up on when still living in the USA, however when I moved to Italy 2 years ago, it became attainable. Who would have ever thought living in Italy and having gastric bypass, abdominoplasty and getting my hip replaced all in 1year. It really is appropriate though as moving to Italy, new language, new culture, new experiences, new person and a terrific new life.

I give thanks for the support I have received here and look forward to continuing this journey as part of this great TT family.

Paul

Default Happy Anniversary Paul!

Your picture album is AMAZING. You have come a long way. You are very handsome... my favorite picture is the one of you in the peach sweater This is going to give many people on this site such hope... myself included!

Are you doing better without your crutch?

Thanks again for sharing... made my day seeing these!!
