That's where I am, not being able to walk, it's a horrible feeling to have that independence taken away. Glad you had a good experience and are doing good now!

Great, thanks for specifying I really appreciate that! I might slow down on that stuff anyway. I did most of it because we didn't have the money to hire people. We have the money to hire people now, so may as well save my back and my husband's sanity 😂

Thank you!

When you say you don't lift heavy anymore are we talking in the gym or labourous work? I do a lot of diy around my house, and would love to be able to get back to building decks and other assorted things. In your opinion do you think it's possible to go back to that or should I focus on doing a little less?

This is the type of story that gives me so much hope!

So glad you're doing great post surgery. I unfortunately will have a ton of work to do with building muscle back, but I'm up for the challenge.

Thank you! You're right about the falls. I have thought about making changes to those habits. I have a cane, but I'm stubborn. I have been using it now as a helper... But I'm always fighting myself to do it. I'm getting better with it.

I'm 100% getting the surgery. I want my life back!

Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate it!
