What a Depressing Vacation
After nearly a month in the hospital (Jan 30 - Feb 22) they finally released me on Tuesday. Truthfully the transplant surgery didn't go that well and the complications piled up but my recovery since then has been surprisingly good. I still have a very long way to go but every day, I get a little bit better and it feels wonderful to be home.This last month has been by far the hardest time of my life. Honestly there is so much to say and so little I want to talk about. But what I will do is take the time to thank my friends, family, and the LBP family for all of the support. I want to thank Phyve for breaking me out of my room and Marc for sneaking in the forbidden cheeseburger. As for the amazing staff at Methodist, there were too many wonderful people and too many miracles to name them all, but two nurses took me at a very dark time and made me smile. Thank you Cassandra and Bridgette, I will never be able to portray fully how much you meant to me. Mostly I want to thank my wife- without your strength I would never have made it through this- I love you.
As for Little Brother Project, this has become a little more of a hiatus than expected. With who we are and what we do, a replacement (although Ron was fantastic) of any kind just didnt feel right. Always the optimists, we are looking at this as a good thing. Soon I will be well enough to go back into the studio and we have decided to take this extra time we have to really sink ourselves into recording and creating the best record we possibly can.
The band received some more tough news recently. It looks like Beatty (drums) who is in the National Guard is going to be deployed into duty this summer. Of coarse upon hearing this news everyone assumed the worst but the truth is, at this point, he has no idea where he will be and no idea how long. No matter where he goes he will be missed and supported by his band mates/friends.
On a good note, Marc (guitar) will be getting married to his fiance Lindsey on April 9th. Marc's side of the wedding party is (of coarse) the band and it will be the first time we are all together since before my surgery.
So to quote my three year old son- I "got a new heart and a big boo-boo" but LBP and I will be back soon.
Thanx for checking in,
More than ever - Thanx for your support,
Coy- LBP Bass
