Day Two: Cleared for Take Off

It's official... I have been cleared for take off, and though I do not yet know my "travel date", I know the destination!  Life!  Life without insulin!  Life without panting and puffing after taking a few steps.  Life with new hopes and dreams.  Fewer food choices, yes (thank God!), but far more choices of activities and opportunities.

After comparing my "abnormal" ekg to one done just a few months ago, it was confirmed that, for me, abnormal is... well, NORMAL!  (Some of my closest friends could have confirmed that for them!)  My file has been sent to the office of whoever schedules my doctor's surgeries and I must wait for my next instructions.

Impatient as I am, it is my hope to fill this time with preparations and expectations and lots of jubilation.  After all, I can't control any of this, so I may as well accept it.  Oh, yes, and I am starting my "bucket list".

Goal #1:  WHEN I reach my goal, I plan to go zip-lining.  That one surprised my husband, but then, he's never known me at a weight that is "zip-lineable".  He says he looks forward to us doing it together.  Can you imagine the look on our children's faces when I tell them this one?!
