Without a goal there is no hope, and without hope there is no goal, I am so happy for you Jesse, you still have relative hope, so your future is assured, and when we are disabled, it is difficult to have that quality of life, well done Jesse, it gives me encouragement, well done, blessings Roy

I can only wish you a perfect return to normal. From the others, I think I can speak from most of those here on Fan Story feels the same. Though I hardly read many works here, I am glad I read yours. I send my blessings to you and best wishes.

Oh, wow, congratulations on the upcoming surgery. I'm sure it will go splendidly. You seem to have a great and hopeful attitude. That and a wonderful support system will help insure things go well. Can't wait for posts about your walking adventures. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

well, I wish you the best - successful surgery, and a short recovery.
You sound like you have good friends and care givers. There are different results for different people, of course, but I have friends who have had knee surgery and said it wasn't bad. I hope yours is one of those and goes smoothly.

I am so happy for you. As one who suffer his own set of medical woes, I know the limits placed on a once active walker who finds extended walking burdensome. The greatest blessing in all of this is surviving long enough to receive the healing cures that modern medical procedures provide. God bless you, my dear friend.

    You are most welcome. While I can still walk, doing so is at times difficult, and not without struggle.

I really like your artwork choice. The dolphins dancing and whistling.

This is a fine story of your progress that will lead to your future dreams of a lifetime.

I wish you all the best, Jesse. Thank you for sharing.

Your uplifting story is a joy to read as it contains such positivity and forward-looking delight in simple pleasures many take for granted. You deserve a great result from the surgery. Good luck!

This sentence had me confused:

'My excitement is only lessened by my happiness which sees no bounds.'
It feels to me that it should read:
'My excitement is only exceeded by my happiness which sees no bounds.'... because your happiness sees no bounds and is therefore much greater than your happiness... which is very high, so I didn't want to see it lessened.
