If he’s that way by looking at a magazine, let’s hope he never sees a video in a store or those infomercials on TV. God forbid he ever try to do any exercise.
Our bud has been in surgery since 6:30 a.m. As Susan said, Aaron needs a total hip replacement. The long surgery overnight Sunday/Monday was to remove the small jigsaw puzzle pieces of his bones and to repair nerve damage.
Aaron reminded me last night about his mantra. Some of you know it as well as I do. The future isn’t where my life is; it’s in the moments I’m in. He told me to remember that and to remind you all so you won’t worry. Believe Aaron and believe his profound words. Gabe thanks you all as well. He and Aaron have been shift partners for seven years so he lives Aaron’s words. He’s going home tomorrow instead of today so he’s here when Aaron is brought back. Both will be out of work all summer. Mom and Dad are coming today to be here for Aaron’s rehab.
I’m pleased we’re such a good family together. All of you, all of your good wishes and frustrations — thanks for the former and relax on the latter. Sadly, no word on the hit and run. Not enough witnesses at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday/Monday to help. It doesn’t matter. They’ll live with what they did. If they’re sleeping less than I am (and I’m sleeping very poorly) it’s justice enough — for now.
