I fully believe a night of heavy drinking and nite alone in the hotel in a less than perfect shape might have done me in. All week long Im telling my wife I don't think I should go as i felt weird.

It wall worked out. Few operations leave you better then when you started. I was very fortunate and freaking insurance is great. Operation cost like 90 grand and maybe I had to pay #3000. My wife was amazing and really took good care of me. My parents live near by and were able to help. Was walking a mile after 2.5 weeks and back to work part time in 3. Did 16 weeks of exercise under supervision at hospital and have not stopped since. I've lost like 25 lbs and changed my body quite a bit the last year. Im about half way done. would like to lose more weight.

don't worry man. next time you come up we're bringing the paddles. had to use them twice on martin in montreal.
