Dr. McIronman: My Surgeon

Today's swap surgery went extremely well.  We checked in at 7am, I was happy on medication by 8am,  back in recovery before 10am, and home by noon.  I feel amazingly well right now, however it would be ill advised to sign any legal documents given the dope legal narcotics in my bloodstream.  

My plastic surgeon, aka Dr. McIronman as he is known in the Boulder area cancer sorority, is not only a great plastic surgeon as evidenced by his work, but a nice person with a good personality.  He decided to become a plastic surgeon after his mom developed breast cancer.  He is about my age, and last year prior to my first phase completed an Ironman Triathlon event in England.  He spent Sunday at the 5430 Sprint Tri, while I slept in and got over not being able to participate.  

Regardless, I feel really good, but a bit sleepy and dopey.  Back to bed for me!

good luck with recovery, and sorry you had to skip 5430. there is always another race in this part of the country that's for darn sure. the girl and i have both done two ironman races.. they really aren't as insane as they appear. you should think about it. check out the janus charity challenge - they have a great program for raising money during your training and what not.
