If his leg hadn’t swollen up to look like Popeyes forearm, we would have not known about the break.

Being nonverbal, and having superhuman pain tolerance is both a blessing and a curse. Does this look like the face of someone dealing with a serious bone break. #strongestman #cpwarrior

Even after removing the door could t get Fin out of his room. Hes pretty excited about this new setup though!

Home again! Oof, it was a long night last night. While I’ve got nerves about his upcoming surgery, and the very long recovery, like the last time they did his other leg. I’m hoping he will also get couple months of power sleeping through the night, and into the morning!

Late summer is the most wonderful time of the year. Days are still warm, with a lot less humidity. Evenings cool down quick.

Perfect for hanging in the Finema! We’re viewing the new Naked Gun flick.
