That was a great e-mail.... Just that you could write it means you have not let TM "own" you... Life is all about making choices!Sometimes it's the right one and sometimes we really screw up... But .... like you say there is life after TM .... only changed... and very challenged. I can almost handle the legs but the banding around my trunk really bothers me. Truly I feel like I've got a cement "butt" that's trying burst out of its cell.Tho I think that's "IN" today... you know a really tight butt.... :) Celebrate, that you can still smell the flowers, and watch a sunset and you have people who love you and care for you.
