3 Weeks & Counting....
I cannot tell you how amazing it is to not have drains in anymore. The last of 5 drains was removed on Friday and I am now a little over 3 weeks out from my surgery, Life is good!!! I turned a year older yesterday, the old 35, which means I also move up an age group as well. Christie and I went to Red Lobster for Dinner, she got me a sweet elite edition Road ID engraved with "Anything is Possible", then to see Grownups, and we picked up the kids and went out for smoothies. I was asked to speak at Rosa Parks Elementary School in Corona, CA today and talk about my story and journey, which was incredible! 1400 excited kids pumped up about getting fit was great. Also, I have my final post-op check-up with Dr Afifi on Wednesday, and if I get her final blessing, we will be heading home to Texas and will hopefully be there by Sunday. Here are a few updated pics...

Looks like you are doing well and obeying doctor's orders (I'm surprised!). Keep up the good work. I think you'll find each age bracket you advance to gets tougher, because the more elite, long term athletes are the ones that keep involved in all these events. Oh well, who does it for the medals anyway. Enjoy your week and hope your back home soon.
