Patrick and I in the many inches of snow. 

Family bar crawl!

cheers!

It's about that time again..

This pic doesn't do justice for the flowers (they are gorgeous!).  

Check out my awesome shoulder pads and ice pack....  and the f-in chair that I am spending way too much time in, yet again.

After opting to swim another year after my last surgery about a year and a half ago, I was sent back to the operating room for yet another repair.  The recovery, so far, has been quite a bit better than the last so hopefully it remains to go this way.  Boy am I lucky to have such  good family (thanks mom for spending your bday in the hospital waiting room) and friends.  Thanks so much Jess' for the flowers... you definately make my day.
