I hadn't really planned to go. John thought it was important. I had first hoped i would be in Chicago and then realized it was a double soccer game saturday (which is always the case in sept/oct at my house) But last minute - i decided to go in between games. I got there just as the walk was ending. I take a long time to warm up in social situations, I need to observe quite a while before I figure out what to say and to who. It was no surprise that i took a ton of photos, listened to a few conversations, watched the physical therapist work with some people, bought some Chiari bracelets and left without saying a word to anyone. That is how I roll. on the sidelines. Maybe next year I can put together a team and we can be celebrating my anniversary of my successful surgery.
