I am reclaiming my life from TOS so here are the things TOS took from me but I can once again do after rib resection surgeries and physical therapy:

Driving
Sitting on a couch for more than 15 minute
Sleep comfortably in a bed, on my side
Work on the computer for an extensive length of time
Air travel
Swim
Watch TV/Movies at home comfortably
Go to the movie theater and be comfortable!!!
(I've seen 5-6 movies at a theater in the last few weeks, more than in the last 3 years)
Functioning without Narcotics!

Things I am still working towards reclaiming soon:

Return to work as a Systems Engineer
Working on my car
Healthier sex life//impregnating my wife
Exercising & losing 15 lbs....P90x? Basketball?
Being 99% pain free and drug free
