Sarah says: Now I am truly exhausted. I feel it in my feet and legs and upper back. Heidi and I took another walk today. I have to take walks each day when possible to get my spine working as it should and everything back in its place. We left my house around 1pm and returned after 4pm but had a small lunch in between. But I admit, it was a bit too much maybe or maybe not. I mean Heidi said her legs and feet were also aching - as if she had been doing sports. So maybe my aches and pains are just normal ones! I have not been stupid enough to try on any pants or skirts at the sales because that sort of bending would not be a good thing for me right now - a definite no-no! But I have managed to find a lot of nice tops - still size 44 (14 US), which I am so very happy about! I think I'll get down to size 42 (12 US) in the next 6 months and then that will be that! I would be happy with that size. I was a 14 when I was a teenager (44). I can't remember ever being smaller than that. I went up to as high as a 48/50 after my pregnancy. So I think 42 is the only realistic size for me at this point, if even! Anyway, 44 is fine right now because I can shop in all sorts of shops I never was able to shop in before! It's great feeling! Really. And my extra centimeter and a half from the prosthetic disc being in my lower spine really makes a difference in how clothes fall on me now. My torso is longer - and that's where I needed to be longer. So again, a happy day! (I know I must sound really shallow but I am really happy about this and can't hide it, shallow or not!)
And by the way -- check out Heidi in the above photo! We have never seen her with that face before!!! Look how smiley we both are. Doesn't that make y'all happy?! That's one of my new tops by the way!
