It's hard to believe Thanksgiving will be here in a few days and that I've "made it" for 2 whole months now. I do remember when I first had all this problem happen, and the total despair I felt once I got home from the hospital. It was and sometimes still seems like a bad dream. And yet, through it all, I know I have grown in ways I otherwise would not have.  My focus has changed in many aspects of my life, and I believe for the better. Yes, I have suffered physically, and still do and even have more to go when I get the hip revision replacement in January, but I've come through some real challenges in ways I didn't even know I had the strength to.  Actually, I didn't, but I was given the strength, the fortitude to continue on. I thank God for this, and for good friends around me and online, you that are reading this and have thought of me and prayed for me too.  I will again get back to healthier eating and exercising, and I will get in shape.  It just will be slow in coming, slow in progressing, but slow is better than not-at-all! I haven't given up and still have high expectations. I think this adventure is not one I really welcomed, but now, I think there was and is a special reason why it happened as it did, when and where it did as well, and it makes me just that more thankful and yet more anxious to get stronger each day and get back on the wagon! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
