OOOOOOHHHHH....Cookies!!!! Wow I wish I could eat those

David, if you can eat cookies, have a few for me.
Suzanne, I sure hope we can do that road trip. I had wanted to see Patty. I miss her very much.
Charm, it really really stinks, but we must do the best we can. Im a huge believer of positive thinking. I do not focus on WHY ME or wallow in self pity. Sure I have some moments where it bothers me knowing what is to come and how my life will change yet again. I cant stop and worry about this, all that does is cloud my mind so I cant make any progress or enjoy life. I prefer to make the most out of the hand I was dealt and enjoy the time I have right now. Worrying about this only steals my time and energy.
I recently bought a mountain bike and rode a 26 mile trail with my son. We had a great time and I will do this again before my surgery.
Pete, its nice to see you posting. How are you doing with your recovery?
