stumbling into the Lair from the ballroom. Are the bears not dancing? I've been in there looking for everyone...the champagne is flowing (and flying as you can see :P) in the ballroom. I had to take my shoes off and still dancing...afraid to look at the bottoms of my feet...

- I hope you and sweet family are doing well.

I (and all of us) are doing great. I moved home to our apartment roughly 1 year ago after spending 8-10 weeks post hospital at my Mom's house continuing to recover. Our daughter was able to move home at the beginning of September, in the middle of September I returned to the hospital for a week as they reversed the Ostomy surgery and made my insides work like they are meant to again.

After that it has just been many long months of recovery and rebuilding. 2 months ago I was finally strong enough for our son to move home so we are all together again. The picture is 1 year to the day after I stood up for the first time. They said it would take 2 years minimum before I would be strong enough to lift even one of my kids, in 1 year I could lift both.

- amazing recovery - so glad for you and your family! Great picture of a strong and determined man -- good for you :)

Thank you. It hasn't all been easy, I had a lot of complications with the Ostomy, but we got through them. Happiest day for me since I woke up was Mid-December when I went in for a post op check up and my Dr said I was completely done with visits other then a yearly check up.

- I think of it like you climbed a mountain...the biggest tallest mountain...in bad weather. You have true grit Adam.

It's time for the most exciting game in the world to start the fight between the Florida Panthers and the Vegas Golden Knights for Lord Stanley's Cup

: thanks for the prayers .

: My Author Mark had an ECG on Tuesday and the Dr determined that he will undergo electrocardioversion on this Tuesday at 10:00 AM in Hospital. I’ll keep you updated. Thanks for your prayers.

Once a bear always a bear, and we are always here waiting for bears to come visit.

, is there a Lairbear dance forum this year? I wish everybody had dance buttons on their signatures.

Not that I know of, I have my dashboard area with a list for all events. So I dont have to search for any one, I just change event name code. You can start one if you want.

- I tried to put a dance button on my sig and it didn't work. probably because I'm me. I'll be praying for you on the electrocardi...medical lingo...good thing I never needed to learn that I'd be let go on day one of any medical type job.
