"Someday" is finally here...

I've kind of been in a daze after finding out last Wednesday ("My little Hollywood drama..." video) that it was finally over...that after all these years the pituitary disorder has now been reversed. No doubt, I'm as giddy as a kid at Christmas. My emotions are churning, trying to get a handle on all of this.

Although I was pretty much a happy camper through most of this 12 year roller coaster, so many dreams had in effect been put in storage, with the hope that someday I would be able to dust them off and watch them take flight... looks like "someday" just arrived - special delivery from Heaven marked "ATTN: My precious child".

Just like a kid showing off his new Christmas present, I've been on the phone, telling everyone about my precious gift... Yeah, as you can tell I'm pretty much an "emotional wreck" but what can I say...it feels good...it feels DAMN GOOD!!!

This video has kind of been a theme song for me lately... It's "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas from the animated movie "Meet The Robinsons". It's a great tune but the lyrics really hit home, especially "...the hardest part is over..."

You can play the video from my website - "Jim's Place" Here's the link...

Thanks Susan! You've really cheered me on since I've been here and it means a lot to me... Thanks for checking out the video and my progress photos. I need to update the photos. I'm down a few more pounds since July 6. As of today I'm at 247 lbs - down 58 lbs since Jan 21.

With the big turnaround on the medical front I'm pretty jazzed about going forward. From what I understand I should no longer have the frequent episodes of fatigue/malaise and that'll sure help me with my exercise program! And for that matter, life in general...

I really like that song and seems like I can't hear it enough...it brings tears, emotional release and and feeling of victory... Can't beat that!

BTW - You cracked me up with your comment the other day using the adjective you created just for me!

Take care, and I'll catch ya later...
