Overall I am feeling really good, my body is healing very well now. In fact other then when I put some weird pressures on my scar I’m not feeling any pain, and those pains go away pretty quick so it’s good that I work the scar a bit to get it has a bit little more elasticity for riding and other activities.
I hit the gym tonight for the first time since mid-November and everything seems to be fine. I’ve been riding my balance board at work and my core balance is dead on. Other then some slight lower back pain and obvious mussel loss do to lack of exercise, I’m doing pretty damn good. I’ve haven’t been putting back on any weight yet so I’m still floating at around 195 give or take a couple pounds.
I hope to be hitting the slopes on Thursday, but depending on the timing of the next storm I may not go since I don’t feel like riding in a blizzard with all the vacationeers in Tahoe over New Years. Snow storms plus people that don’t know how to drive in foul weather conditions = bad news.
oh well it’s 1am it’s time to crash

Well I went and saw my surgeon for the last time today. And the good news is as of this Saturday I am cleared to resume my normal life. I can start snowboarding again and I’m allowed to lift more then 15 pounds.
So as of Saturday I’ll be heading back to the gym to work on regaining some of the strength I’ve lost over the past month. It’s amazing how worked your body can become in less then a month when your not allowed to do anything strenuous. Amazingly enough I did listen to my doctors orders and kept it low key, just the though of splitting my incision open kept me on the straight and narrow. Although it would be a good one time party trick have your guts spill out on the floor, oh wait that happens when one drinks too much.

Damn mother nature and her dumping loads of snow when I can’t ride. Conditions at Kirkwood are fucking EPIC right now. Over 100 inches so far for the season. In layman’s terms normally we don’t see that much snow until mid-January.
I’m counting the days until I’m cleared to ride, so until then I’ll continue torturing myself by listing to the Kirkwood snow reports everyday.

I’m finally starting to feel better. In fact I’m starting to feel better then I have in years. Yesterday the drain was removed from me, and that hurts I’m still a little sore from that. I will have photo’s up of the scumbag tonight.
All the years of my feeling blah due to my colon being fucked up has started to wash away. Granted it’s still early but I feel a lot better then I can remember before all this started. Just the fact that I had so much disease probably was draining me since my body was have to always fight off attacks and not always winning.
So now I’m going to look forward to the New Year coming up with a new scar and massive weight loss(194 and dropping) and move forward with my life. I’m not going to be bummed about the hell I went through, I’m just going to look at it as a major turning point in my life and move on.
