One Year Ago Today......

[lyzzyanne]

My poor husband was having a very worrying time, My son was doing a parachute jump and I was under the knife.

He said this could be a great or terrible day depending on how things went!! Luckily our son did his jump and enjoyed it and I had my op and came out the other side unscathed !!

My life has changed beyond all recognition.

I am now 150 lbs lighter, I have gone from size 36 to size 16.
I have gone from size 56 bra to a respectable 38 D!!
My feet have shrunk a whole size.
I can buy 6 quid trousers from Asda!!!
I can easily fit in a plane seat with extra room in the belt.
I have taken up scuba diving.
I have had a tattoo to mark my progress!

At the weekend just gone we marked our Pearl Anniversary with a trip to Rome, I climbed to the top of the dome of St Peters in the Vatican, 322 steps in a confined space finishing with a very narrow spiral staircase where I had to use a rope to pull myself up with !! It was exhausting but totally exhilarating!!!

Next year after my hip replacement I plan to take part in one of the Tesco Cancer runs, never thought I would say that!!!

Thank you for all your online support, its been invaluable!!
