About Me

Finally getting to the 21st century, I've added twitter (http://twitter.com/librarydogmom) to my Web site.

My therapy dog, Sunny, & I are helping children not only learn to read but also love to read. I'm creating www.librarydogs.com, when I'm not at the gym.

I've always been fairly active--horseback riding (well, okay, that's more exercise for the horse than me), roller skating, aerobic dancing, jogging (lots of 10k runs), step classes, etc. If I hadn't done that, I'd easily be 400 lbs I'm sure. Having said that, none of my friends who never exercised have had to endure surgeries like me, and most are not very heavy, if at all.

I've had 9 knee and foot surgeries, including 2 total knee replacements. I've also had other major surgeries, but I keep bouncing back. I feel so good, and I believe it's because of the exercise. It's hard for many things, because I can't kneel, and in January 2011 had surgery for a full thickness rotator cuff tear (doc says give it 12 months to stop hurting). I no longer golf because of my spine being out of place (but I got a hole-in-one, so who needs golf anymore!).

I hope this doesn't sound like complaining, 'cuz I'm not. I'm just hoping to find someone else out here who's exercising in spite of ... whatever ... and we can all challenge and support each other.

We're sorry but librarydogmom has not posted any blogs yet.
