They should incorporate taking pictures like these as part of the recovery process. It incorporates bending at the waist, lifting a leg, holding a camera (mostly) still, etc.

I heard elsewhere that Brick went home today, how long till he is in the garage sitting on a bike going VROOM-VROOM.

Taking a good deep breath before making the sound is good for the lungs...sounds like good therapy for the mind and body.

I came home on Friday the 12th and feel better each and every day. Here are some photos from my "adventure".


The waiting was the hardest part!

my pill count has changed...
This AM Sunday I'm going breakfast with the Knobbies, a local mc group I ride with. No I'm not riding yet.

Brick glad to hear everything went well. Recovery time greatly reduced when they go through the side rather than the traditional through the sternum route.

Stay the course, do what's required and looking forward to the stories when we next meet down the road. Larry Ward

As big a heart as Lojie had... I think that's what saved me. Trent is here now to take over here as We will see Lojie someday!
Now you had to make me think of him and bring a tear didn't you. ❤️

Sorry didn't mean to open an old wound, didn't know Lojie passed. Saw you and Patricia with the service dog at STAR and thought it was the same one.

Oh not a problem... It's appropriate Lojie still watching over me.

Hey Brick, this tear to the eyes thing is happening with you lots lately. I think it must be the realization just how blessed you are - carry on and your friends love you and miss you. We'll see you out there again soon enough. Since no MPFB - what about FCR??  8)

Hey Brick! Looks like Trent is giving you the "stink-eye"! We're sure he'll keep you in line. Glad to see you're home. Hoping for a super fast and complete recovery. Ruth says hey!
