Mark had a spinal fusion in June of this year! This is why he is a little bit taller than last year. He had a couple of degenerating and herniated discs removed and hardware added. The surgery/recovery was much harder and painful than anticipated. He was suppose to stay in the hospital for 2 days, but that turned into 6 days when he had pain control issues and got pneumonia. It takes a full year to recover from this procedure. Mark has been doing lots of physical therapy and exercising everyday. He is bummed out that this winter season he will not be able to hit the slopes and snowboard - something that he looks forward to every winter.
