Step One

I needed to do something. Every day when I lumbered down the hall into work on pain riddled knees, I thought the same thing. The sign on the door from the office next to us entered into my thoughts on occasion and I would let myself wonder or even ponder it slowly over a day or two until I would discount it as a cop out. Finally one day I spoke the words out loud. And instead of slowly pondering the idea again, it took fruition and the words swirled in my brain like a storm cloud in the sky. Eventually it funneled into a possibility. I researched it and I sought out expert opinions. My comfort level grew and I confided in a few people wanting and needing their support. Today I took the first step and approached their door….. St Peter’s Hospital Bariatric Surgeons. I opened it.
