I'm doing really good, feel really great. I don't limp at all and I am so immensely appreciative of my health- of every minute I can quickly walk somewhere without pain- of just being myself again physically, of zipping all over the house tending to everything without hurting is so wonderful.

I really believe you need to have bad times to appreciate the good in your life- to put it in perspective. You're thankful for the sunshine after it's been raining for days, you're appreciative of someone's touch when you've been lonely, moments without pain are delicious after feeling bad for so long. After you're broke for so long, it's so lovely to get paid! After stuggling for so many years in my marriage- the moments we connect, and have fun, and laugh, and touch each other and show each other love are so much more meaningful.

I really get what the monk said now- the ocean is not beautiful without waves- so it is with life.
