I know there are times I whine and complain about all that happened and I’ve been through. But the reality is, and yes it’s cliche, but it could be worse. The most important thing is here and that’s all that matters. Thankfully the only complications I’ve had are related to reconstruction and not the treatment…

Under Reconstruction…Still
You know how you’ll drive by certain roads and think to yourself they are still working on this? I can’t believe how long it is taking. It turns out that construction projects and roadwork take awhile and often way more complex than we think. It turns out that breast reconstruction is also way more complex…
Life is Like a Marathon
Here I go with another sports analogy. And an appropriate one as I’m sure we have heard the saying “life is a marathon not a sprint.” Today was the Boston Marathon which led me to think about how racing such a challenging distance is like life. Life like a marathon is not easy but we…
Yolo

Ready for the Hunt
I am an extremely competitive person. I think it’s due to all my years playing sports but I also know I’ve been like this most of my life. After a weekend filled with Easter egg hunts I couldn’t help but think about how competitive these things get. Fortunately the ones we did this weekend were…
It’s Going to be A-Ok
Now that baseball is back and the Phillies are finally playing at home I am reminded of my favorite walk up song from last season that sends a perfect message. That song is Tai Verdes’ A-Ok and it’s Bryson Stott’s song. It’s a reminder that everything is going to be a-o, a-ok. I needed this…
