Surgery With Dr.LaPrade

Surgery went well today!

Nothin like a team of all smart, handsome guys takin care of ya :)

More posts to come on Dr.LaPrade and the surgical post-op.

In the mean time ... thank God for percocet!

Summer in Vail

Today was my first and last mobile day in Vail.

I took advantage.

Strolled around the beautiful Vail Village.

Columbines were in full bloom :)

Got me feelin a little Colorado spirit.
How Beautiful is Vail?

And hey - it was a successful day.

I set in stone my life goal:

to own a shop of some sort ...

graphic design, cupcakes and cards ... whatever

and live above it in this magical place.

My place will of course be complete with 

adorable sleeping dogs on my steps

and children playing in the fountain outside ...

I'm going to conclude this post with a thank you to the Steadman Clinic.

 A preliminary thank you that is ...

if they mess me up tomorrow, I can revoke it. Remember that over there guys.

Anyways,

thank you for not only being the best orthopedic surgeons around

but for also being in Vail :)

Vail or Bust

So tomorrow morning I am leaving for Vail, Colorado.

I wish I could say this is just a fun summer mountain trip ...

but its more of a 

"sucking-the-fun-out-of-anything-you-could-possibly-do-on-a-fun-summer-mountain-trip" trip.

KNEE SURGERY

It is about 4 years over due.

The endless softball, the black diamond skiing ... it took a beating.

I'm in good hands though. Steadman Clinic is the best of the best.

Dr.LaPrade will be my surgeon.

If there was ever a knee expert ... it's him.

I will be posting more details about the surgery and procedure these next two weeks.

And in the mean time, look at the silver lining,

what better place to be sliced?

VAIL, Colorado? 2 weeks of rehab is sounding quite alright.

Wish me luck :)
