Brother Sister Day

It rocks that Mac Em and Silas take Brother Sister Day very seriously.
They "bonded" on the Coronado ferry, hunted for Green Day CD's and proudly turned Silas into a "Green Day Nerd", sang "bullfrogs down by the banks of the hanky panky" while they waited in lines, decided on sweet stuffed animal gifts to each other, played guitars together and Mac and Em watched Silas' first swimming lesson with great interest ("he's sooo cute") and concern ("he's scared to put his face in") and cheering all around ("yay Silas!").
There was a lot of love in this day and I was happy to watch it happen.

The caption under the picture cracks me up. The article is interesting too.

The Elbow!

Robo Cast



Inside my elbow. 4mm and 2mm pieces removed, bone spur ground down, various particles cleaned out


Arthroscopic surgery gone wild!


What was supposed to be 1/2 hour surgery turned into 2 3/4 hour surgery. Arm pumped full of fluid! Stitches everywhere!


The original cast, happy on Norco and looking forward to physical therapy


and I still have that funny little torn labrum in my shoulder I need to fix.
2011, the summer of the elbow.
