Today is one month after surgery. My life currently is: Medical Bills, pain pills, acoustic bass guitar, rabbit ears, internet, two bored dogs, half read books, beach cruiser (about the same as a stationary bike) and Lazy Boy chair. Not pictured: Elastic waist band pants for the incision in my belly.

Thankfully the Athlete Recovery Fund set me up with their agent Amanda who has managed to reduce my $40,000 plus bill to somewhere around $6500 just by dealing with my doctors and insurance company for me! So amazing. Funny how I was stressing about the number plate I did to help raise money for that Charity. Now I know which charity is going to get some of my lotto winnings (once I win). Thanks so much ARF!
