One Surgery Down...

...One to go? Hopefully I will hear from the doctor today or tomorrow about how many more "procedures" I will have to have. Rachel has a nice recap of the last one on her blog. Please continue to pray that the pathology report from Monday's surgery comes back clean. Everyone, especially Rachel, has been very supportive through my skin cancer so far.

I feel like I am slacking with my working out lately. We have been out of town a lot, and I felt weird about trying to work out with a pressure bandage on my head - so I didn't. (Although I did mow the yard with the pressure bandage on my head.) I did lift weights yesterday and will hopefully run tomorrow. I did body weight-only pull-ups and dips last week instead of using my dipping belt. I was surprised - I got 20 pull-ups on my first set. I got 16 wide-grip pull-ups on the second and third sets. The dips surprised me - even though I do sets of 10 with 80 extra lbs on me, I only got 27 reps per set. I guess I am just not used to doing that many in a row.

On our way home from KY last weekend, there was a message on the big sign above I-65 that tells you about wrecks, road construction, amber alerts, etc. It said "One fatality is to many - slow down". Way to go guys, way to misspell a word for all of the hundreds of thousands of cars that drive down I-65 every day to see. Apparently one fatality is too many, and seemingly so is 2 Os.

I just want to know-was the sign in KY or Alabama? Or better yet, Tennessee, so neither of us has to be embarrassed further about our home state. Still hoping for no more actual surgeries.

Unfortunately, the sign was in Birmingham.

Dude, the worst road sign is the one on I-64 W near Frankfort. It says, "State Capital - next right."
