Reset

I have now invested over two years of my life and all of my savings into a new medical device business that my wife and I started. Over those two years, we have devoted most of our time to filing the patents, developing the science and prototype and doing market research. We are very close to finally going to market with it and have been extremely excited (and busy).

Unfortunately, we received some very bad news on Monday.

Although it wasn't anything that is insurmountable, I have very emotionally attached to the business right now, and got a little depressed. Ok, as much as I hate to admit it, very depressed- I had difficulty getting out of bed or talking to anyone for a couple of days.

I began feeling better yesterday, but the turning point for me was definitely this afternoon. I drove Helen to work this morning and when I went to the hospital to pick her up this afternoon, she was just coming out of the OR. Knowing I was there, she sent someone out to tell me to come to the door so she could show me something- this photo is of a silicon breast implant that was ruptured and removed. I immediately regretted not having my camera with me, but took this with my iPhone instead.

I don't know why, but seeing this made me feel like things weren't really so bad, and so now I am back to my regular over-charged self; it gave me a little perspective on things...

...and the best news of all? Tomorrow is Friday (and Adam's birthday!!!)
