19 Years!

Dec 09, 2023

On December 20, 2023, I will be 19 years out from surgery. I'm still here.

It's been a tough, sometimes wild journey.  I've gone up and down a little, weight wise, for the past 15 years , but overall I've done okay.

I'll be forever thankful for this surgery. I would be dead by now without it.  

I am now 53 years old and beginning to experience issues related to aging. Whenever it gets annoying and frustrating, I remind myself to be thankful that I'm still alive to experience it. 

Life is an interesting journey. Not always happy and exciting, but oh so sweet and precious.

Live life to the fullest! Never give up. It's worth it in the long run.
