on the mend

well the past 6 months have not exactly been the easiest for dan. from his sinus issues to his shoulder it's been a rough few months. on friday we added yet another surgery to his growing list. (he's going to catch up with me soon) on friday morning he went under the knife to fix that pesky ac joint in his shoulder. i just wish i could find that idiot who ran into him on the mountain and send him a bill.

here is what dan's shoulder looked like pre-surgery

that bone that you see sticking up was sticking out of his shoulder and had he not fixed it, it would have looked like this for the rest of his life. this, was not a main reason to do the surgery...but the guaranteed arthritis and lack of range of motion later on in life was. as most of you know dan is a gym rat. he hits the gym at least 5 times a week...it is his way of de-stressing from work. i admire him for this. so the thought of not being able to use his shoulder in the future was hard to swallow. so under the knife he went on friday and came out looking like this

much better! the doc went in and literally tied his shoulder down. the road to recover is a long one...but we are one step closer to having dan back to normal. and for that i am so grateful.
