My last blog entry confirmed my life was great. I lied a little... it was missing the ability to accomplish a sit up. A sit up is an easy task for most people but it was something that I haven't been able to do since my transplant. During my surgery my abdominal muscles were cut and I lost all feeling in that area. I have been working on my core strength daily for the last 5 months but still was not able to do a sit up. I asked Dr. Guy during my last appointment if I would ever regain strength and she had no idea... I was the first patient to obsess over doing one. I know its a weird thing to obsess over especially since I can't remember the last time I did a sit up before my transplant.
Well folks.... CHECK THIS OUT!
I CAN DO SIT UPS!!!
I bet you are asking why I am not in gym clothes? This was taken at a photo shoot for Blood Source, they are using me on their promotional items.... I am hoping for the blood mobile! ( don't worry...not these pictures, LOL) I was so excited that I was telling them about my sit up so she took a picture so I can use it on my blog.
I wonder what my next obsession will be now that I have accomplished a sit up! Stay tuned!
CONGRATS!!! how awesome to be able to get another "normal" part of your life back!!! looking forward to "seeing" you on the side of the blood mobile! I'll be honest, I,ve never thought of the individuals who might get the blood I donate. I just know I can do something to help.
