A friendly recovery...

Talk about a quick recovery! It's very weird to think that getting your appendix removed used to be a big ordeal, considering a week later I feel almost normal and hardly have a visible scar. I think having my friends around helped me recover a lot faster, and made the whole experience a lot more positive.

This picture made me laugh really hard.

Marcus, Ross and Kristina were here until Wednesday, and I think its safe to say we all had a pretty good time. Skiing, great food, sight seeing...all the things you can hope for on a vacation. Taking a week off of work wasn't bad either. Here are some pictures from the week:












Saturday I gave skiing a shot. It worked out well because Marcus and Kristina wanted to ski the bunny slopes, which gave me a chance to start slow. Ironically, it was actually easier for me to ski than to walk! Here is my "oops I accidentally skied way too soon after my surgery" picture haha:


On the last day of skiing, we saw a moose in the trees near Apres Vous, and almost skied into him! This was the first time this year that I saw a moose on the slopes while skiing, so it was cool that Ross was here to see it too.



Now that my friends have left, its back to work for Laura and I. My doctor didn't want me to bump chairs for my first week back, so I have been working on the Granite Ridge tow rope.

Things get pretty exciting over here on Granite aka Gangster Ridge.
(not)

I actually thought working the tow rope was going to suck, but I am really enjoying it. I don't have to get up as early, I'm allowed to read/text/talk whenever I want, and I get to go home at 2pm instead of 5pm. It's so laid back, that it doesn't really even feel like I'm working!

On a side note, I want to thank everyone for reading my blog, as it recently surpassed 2,000 hits! Thanks for the support, knowing that people are consistently reading it really helps me keep up with it and keep writing. Hopefully I am offering you all some sort of entertainment, and in return you are motivating me to record my adventures so that I can remember this whole experience for the rest of my life. (Without feeling like I'm writing in a journal :P)

That's it for now. The weekend is almost here...hopefully I can get myself into something worth blogging about!
