FIRST surgery at 54! Woot! Woot!

Before it all began...

 That's right-- Daddio has enjoyed 54 fabulous years without a single surgery. The man has been by the side of all six of his kids MULTIPLE surgeries but some how slipped through the cracks of surgery. Today the roles were finally reversed! Padre is an avid, competitive, determined, hard-core athlete. There is no such thing as bad weather, pain, second place or limits. He went out on his usual Saturday ride of 65 miles on his road bike with his crew. They were enjoying a grand ol' morning until the boyz hit a mud slide and all went down. Dad flew over his handle bars hitting a fence post. All the guys ended up with pretty severe injuries. Just like a tough son of a gun, he spent the weekend waiting for the pain to subside. After a visit to Dr. Beck our family orthopedic surgeon dad needed surgery asap. He shattered his clavicle into pieces! Lou, Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed being at the bed side of Dad. He was a crack up coming out of anesthesia. Who knew a little morphine is all you need to a family secret tell all sesh! Doc placed 10 screws to hold the sucker together and he was ordered to some serious R & R! We sure LOVE you Pops!!

Check out these hot items! I always wondered how the padre would look in white tights & purple socks. 

The delicious food of a battered man...
The man finally awakes....
AND HE'S A SURVIVOR! Off to some serious physical therapy!
