I have some more non-scale victories (NSVs) to report and celebrate:

I sat in a movie theater seat and my hips didn’t touch either side. ?

I walked up a steep driveway and I wasn’t winded. ?

I can walk down steps now, left, right, left, instead of stepping with my right foot and bringing my left to that step. ?

I am walking and talking with more confidence. ?

And best of all, a sweet young man considered “special needs” when asked by his mom if he had noticed I was losing weight. His answer:
❤️“Nope. I just see her healing, Mom.”❤️

Seeing the number in the scale go down is certainly exciting, but these? These are life-giving!

I return to the surgeon’s office tomorrow. I’m hoping that all my lab work shows I’m fully healthy and that their scales match mine. ?
