Congratulations, Laureen. It sounds to me like you've taken this
surgery and turned it into a tool to help yourself, which is a great
way to be. I look forward to hearing about your future successes.

I
told him I hired a personal trainer and he released me for exercise on
March 14th.

Good for you! I see a PT once a week, for an hour each session. I
find it's great, very motivating and she gets me working longer,
faster and harder than I ever thought I could. I hope you find it
helps you as much as mine helps me.
