This month it’s officially been a year since I joined rmrs the weekend of my cousins wedding , man time flies. We were at a family reunion this past Sunday and my aunt and uncle mentioned my girl cousin had been married a year now and that week before her wedding is when I joined rmrs. Now I have like 8 or 9 suits and a bunch of accessories, new boots and new dress shoes . Part of soon to be 2 gentleman podcasts!! In a year a lot can happen !! Also my wife has been getting healthier and has lost just over 130 lbs. so proud of her . Her dresses are all going to need to be taken to our personal tailor

The Mrs and I out for dinner and some live music

As many of y'all know, I battled a shoulder rotator cuff tear the better part of the last year which I successfully managed to recover from after surgery and PT. This evening, I received news in the form of the radiologist review that I have a lateral meniscus tear in the front, back, and sides as well as a torn ACL and a meniscus tear. I messaged my Physical Therapist who I’ve become friends with over the rehab of my shoulder and her response was “Curious if they’ll wanna do a repair to opt for a knee replacement?” Gentlemen, I’m at a loss right now. I know that surgery is likely, but I have to admit that for one of the few times in my life, I’m scared. I’m not looking for sympathy or playing the “woe is me” card, I needed to get this out because I’ve kinda just shut down emotionally this evening to everyone, plus I’m currently on vacation and the life has been sucked out of me. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest.
