The past four months have been interesting. Rachel and I had been having financial problems. Due to her ankle surgery, she was only receiving a fraction of what she normally gets. To complicate matters, a mistake in paperwork had caused her disability pay to stop. We are hoping that it will get resolved within the next week or so.

Rachel had her splint removed last Monday. The doctor said that everything looked okay. He told her that he should have made the scar longer to connect with her Tigger tattoo. That way, it would look like Tigger was climbing something.

For those observant people who check my photo gallery, you may have noticed something: I had my body tattooed, not once, but twice! The people who have seen my tattoos have asked many questions about them. I will just post the most popular ones:

My wife Rachel is diabetic. She is supposed to advertise that fact with a medical alert bracelet or necklace so that paramedics would be better able to treat her. However, while she had some items she can wear, she either forgets to wear them or they interfere with her job. When she read an article about a kid tattooing the alert on his wrist, she was intrigued. After the passing of her dad, she wanted to honor the memory of her father. She came up with a design that combines the two ideas. Yesterday, we drove to the tattoo place where she had her other five done.
