There are a couple of things on the list that I am looking forward to. The rest, not so much. The airplane seating issue is one. I have never had to use an extender, but it has been close a few times. I am just looking forward to being a little more comfortable in an airplane seat and not feel so self conscience about crowding the person setting next to me.

Getting into and out of the boat easier is another I can identify with. However, with my bad right knee, we will see if this dream comes to fruition.

I loved that I was able to wear a shirt and tie over Christmas, 2 weeks after surgery, without using a neck extender. Plus I could put two fingers between my neck and the top button with room left over. Wearing my sport jackets that I can button up easily was also pretty neat. I will attend a funeral tomorrow and and I am expecting my shirt and jacket be even better as I have lost another 10 to 15 lbs since Christmas.
