Update

Hey folks, this is Brad comin' at ya. Mr. Studlyhunk gave me his login/password information since they won't let him have his laptop at the hospital, and he knows you all are worried about him.

SO. The first round of surgery went really smoothly. Mr. Studlyhunk is doing well, and healing fast. He has one more less serious operation scheduled for this Sunday, and if that goes as well as we're hoping, he'll be home next week!

I have some pictures from the hospital that I'll try to put on here, if I can figure out how to do it. I'm not as tech-savvy as Mr. S, that's for sure!

Peace out,

Brad Schweiber

Bad News

You've probably been wondering where I've been lately. Apparently, when I was in Erie for Campstravaganza, I reinjured my shoulder. I really wasn't even DOING anything, it just happened. I figured I would just have to do some minor physical therapy exercises to heal it, and that would be that.

Well, I went to the doctor, and it turns out that things inside my arm are completely messed up. In order to fix it so that I can use it to live the active lifestyle I'm accustomed to, I am going to have to undergo major surgery.

They are thinking that they are going to have to AMPUTATE my arm and do a bunch of major reconstructive surgery inside. Then they'll stitch me back up, and I will have to wait for it to heal.

Now, I'm a brave man. And a strong man. But I'm not going to lie. I'm scared to death. This is MAJOR surgery. There is a chance I might not even make it out alive. I've been pretty depressed the past couple of weeks, and haven't been able to bring myself to blog about this until now.

So, there you have it. I go under the knife this weekend. Please send good vibes. I HAVE to be okay. I have to.

Campstravaganza Birthday Weekend

This weekend was my birthday! A bunch of my buddies were getting together for a camping weekend in Erie, PA. What a perfect way to celebrate my b-day! I drove up with Carl and Brad.

Here we are with Kate, Julie and Beth. Julie and I share the same birthday!



Brad with Anne and Beth!



Brad with Beth! He totally has a crush on her:



Me and Kate:



Me and Moss:



We played birthday games, including Pin the Tail on the Unicorn. Beth won, and I did pretty well myself!



Jenny hand-sewed this birthday card for me out of felt!



Look. Thirty-two candles!



On Saturday, we went to the beach. My favorite place of ALL.



Carl, Brad and I practiced some body building poses:



Goofing off in the sand:



We helped bury Moss in the sand, too:



Brad loves to bury his buddies:



I'm so glad everyone could make it out to help me celebrate my birthday!

Darts

Tonight I headed out for awhile to play some darts. I didn't take very many pictures, but I did get this great shot of me in front of the board:

Happy Birthday, Ryan!

This weekend I cruised through Detroit to wish Ryan a happy birthday. It was a pretty wild afternoon party, with softball and volleyball! Also lots of great grilled food.

Here I am cracking Summer up on the hammock:



And here I am with Ryan! Happy birthday, dude!

The Best Thing About Hot Weather

Bikini Season. Eye candy everywhere I look! These pictures are all from ONE stroll through campus I took this afternoon. Definitely my favorite time of year.

Memorial Day Party Festivities

It's been a great long weekend. The highlight was last night, when Brad, Carl and I did some Memorial Day Weekend party hopping! We stayed the longest at Kate's party, because there were so many ladies there!

What's up, Rose?



We played quite a lot of corn hole. I'm pretty awesome at it.



Me and my buddy Scott. I haven't seen this dude since college!



Ha, that Carl is such a goof. Well well well!
