Description
A year ago today I had my open heart surgery. And it's been an interesting year to say the least. I'm not yet able to run in the Boston Marathon, but I am mending. Maybe not as quickly as I had hoped, but mending all the same.
On this first "anniversary", I'd like to take a minute to thank all my friends and family, both local and on Renderosity, for being so kind, helpful and supportive through this "adventure." And to wish them all the very best.
I'd especially like to thank the three people in this picture (and a fourth who should be here): My Mother, Father, and dear friend Chip (Chipka) Howell. My sister Kate is the fourth, but she was out in the car waiting to take my parent's to the airport. They were literally heading out the door when I made this picture on October 2, 2010.

Nice family group shot mate.

Chip looks like he is waiting to arrest you as you make a last goodbye! It's probably just the worry of it. It didn't take you long to get that camera going after the op, did it? I famously whipped my TZ out of my jeans pocket on the operating table before my last bronchoscopy to make a group portrait of the theatre team. It was a bit out of focus as the calm-you-down meds had taken effect. How lovely to see your parents, and a year?!! where did that go? I wish you increasing wellbeing, Corey. Good friends and a healthy obsession will keep you motivated!

Three beautiful people, inside and out, and I'm sure your sister is too. A touching moment and a wonderful candid shot. Its hard to think that is was only a year ago...

Excellent shot, Corey, nice to know you had a great support group like this when you needed them.

I remember this day; I'd just walked in from the kitchen so I probably had a mouth full of something, which explains my serious expression--I had a mouth full of something that would have looked undignified had I attempted to smile with food-stuffed cheeks. **Note to self: don't chew stuff while a camera is aimed in your direction; it makes you look...um...somewhat official in that law-enforcement sort of way. This is a great shot. I can't remember where I put that shirt either; it does make me look like either a paramedic or a law enforcement official. Funny how that works. And yeah, it was a year ago? Where did that time go? This is a great shot! And that reminds me, I still have to send a copy of Cryptonomicon to your dad. He liked the bits about various disease organisms, criminals, and soldiers, and cute, little predatory animals being "prodigious badasses". What a loopy book that was! Anyway, this is a great shot. And I'm glad it's been a year ago and you're doing better.

Isn't it great to have people in your life who love you and care how you're doing? Count me as one of them ... I can't wait to see you next week and see how well you're doing! :)

A lovely candid family capture and it is lovely to meet your parents. I'm glad you are doing OK after your surgery, I'm sorry I missed that you were having an op. I know I was pretty glad to be alive after my heart surgery so I know a bit about how you are feeling. Mine was about 6 years ago. I do appreciate life more these days.

Just getting here...:) You are probably about an hour away from meeting us at our hotel room...so thought I better sneak a peak at what you've been doing lately. Great shot of family...they are a most valuable asset. First anniversary of your surgery...way to go. I passed my second anniversary of the same thing last month. If this was 50-75 years ago, you and I wouldn't be quite so chipper, would we? See you soon!
