Nick's recovery from surgery

Nick finally got his HUGE vericose veins removed last week and since we shared pictures of his mouth I knew all of you would love to see his new improved and very sexy shaved leg :)
Nick ended up with a total of 36 incisions. The doctor said that 20 incisions was average but we all know that Nick is ABOVE average now don't we? LOL

Soooooooooo.... it has been 1 week since Nick's surgery. He has been off and quickly got bored so guess what he did.... A lovely rock border. Nick got the rocks from the creek in back of the house even though I told him all that lifting should not be done so soon after surgery. Evidently I am not a doctor and therefore do not need to be listened to on this topic. Who knew?


Well- this is how it looks now. Pretty- yes. Looking forward to another hernia repair- no. That's my man!

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike!

Hmmm, I mean WE want to ride our bicycle, WE want to ride our bike. Nick and I had a moment of "lets just get one" so we did and it is so much fun and good exercise too. It is a 21 speed Shimano. We added the fenders and bike rack to it so we would look really COOL! Nick and I rode our tandem bike around the 2.6 mile block that I normally walk- it was harder than walking, that's for sure. But quicker too! With Nick in front and controlling the ride it was hard for me to get used to having no control as to where the bike was going and when to pedal or not (we have to work on our bike communication) but I think we will have lots of fun with this and everyone is welcome to try it out. So come on over so we can go for a ride! Expect more pictures- maybe some of them will have us in them too. LOL!
