Turns out becoming an IronMan really did change me forever! After the blood clot returned for a third time, I had my first rib removed on April 16th. Doctors believe that my swim training last year created a smaller space between my clavicle and first rib. Something tweaked it in February and caused the vein to be compressed-thus the clots. It has been a scary 6 weeks - I am beyond blessed with loving family and friends and awesome medical care.

When you are recovering from having a rib removed and your sons ask you to please add highlights to their hair even though you have no clue what you are doing-you do it. Looking good boys! The 90’s are back! We have decided that only good decisions are made while taking pain medicine. The boys love it. I just asked them to jump and throw a punch to the side and say “bye bye bye” and they have no idea what I am talking about.
