Let's Celebrate!
« on: June 09, 2007, 12:57:18 pm »
18 months post-op this week.  Sammy Davis Jr. was doing "Candy Man" on my radio.  Although I haven't felt I could dance, or do my aerobic dancing since surgery, today I found myself dancing away, turning, swaying, and lifting the legs in rhythm as I use to do.  I am celebrating!

Boppie let's do the happy dance together!
I just got home from Tampa and my 18 month check up.  No regrowth evident.  I do not have to go back for a year but also am not going to be released for work for another year either while I try to retrain.

I wanna dance too!  :-*

That's cool, Boppie.  Dance away.
Brasher, congratulations on your facial movement.  Another good reason to celebrate.

Great stuff!  My first cup of java is going down well as I'm trying to catch up with some posts.
