It’s A Miracle!
OK, OK, it’s Photoshop! BUT, I am doing way better and I have fully come to terms with the next four weeks. It’s just another month and as long as the next x-ray at least kinda resembles the above image than I will ideally be back on my feet early in the new year. Till… →

10) Complimentary and mandatory airport pat down service. Since you can’t actually hop through the x-ray machine they take you aside and rub you up and down…most action I’ve had in months! 9) Half Price Massage. “Your right leg, it’s so firm and toned!” “That’s a cast” “Ohhh…half price for you” (Only 25% off for… →
