An Update on My Health

I figured that I would give everyone an update on how things are going on my end.  I had my surgery two weeks ago.  They had to replace my mitral valve, so now part of me is bionic.  The surgery was kind of scary but I made it through.  It's weird to be hooked up to all sorts of tubes and what not.  But that is in the past.
The released me from the hospital to a rehab facility as I still need to get antibiotics.  I am going through therapy and that is going really well.  I expect to fully recover by the time I am released from here.
It looks like the only thing I'll have the change about what I do for here is that I wont be able to take pictures from directly under the basket.  Part of the exchange with the mechanical heart is that I will be on a blood thinner and I don't want to risk the injury.  Other than that, things will be just like normal except I may focus on other things.
Anyway, I'll leave with some older pictures but they are some of my favorites.

Enjoy.

I hope everyone has a happy new year.
