So in preparation for my #heartsurgery, BB and I are going to a marriage counselor to try to be as prepared for our big challenge as possible. We have a great relationship but this is a huge test.
I realized the one we picked is ~9mos post PsyD. Poor thing is a baby dealing with weeeiird clients.

As I continue to deteriorate heading into my #heartsurgery, I am nevertheless attempting to maintain basic fitness. This wasn’t awful.

This is my last cup of coffee until after my surgery.
Tomorrow I switch to tea for a couple weeks. After that, herbal tea.

Got the approval from my insurance company for my surgery today.
I can only imagine what it will cost. Grateful I have insurance. Deeply aware of how many don’t. Or have insufficient coverage.

Once again, I won’t be able to participate - this year due to my #heartsurgery. But you should.
Camp Lug-A-Chug. What is that? It's a weekend in the woods with people helping people. We hike all the aid station supplies onto the course for Volcanic 50K/25K, including the water. Sound like fun? It actually is and we'd love your help 7/25-26. Details: gobeyondracing.com/event/camp-l...

Every $50 will buy me a month of doses. Even a single dollar can help.
