I had some fun showing friends a picture of the old me - and watching the surprise register for the new me. I'm certainly not where I'm GOING to be, but I am a long, long way from where I was. And it shows.
I also showed before and after pictures of a dear friend who has walked this road before me. She is four years out from her surgery - and has been a complete success. People can't believe that the pictures are even of the same person. I hope that they will be able to say the same thing about me - down the road, for sure, but still...
Scheduling conflicts required my mom to reschedule my sister's birthday dinner - which is disappointing because I will not be able to attend. But I'm looking at it as a good thing - I THINK I'm ready for a big family dinner, but what if I'm not? This way, I'll have a little more time to mentally prepare before I face that challenge.
