Welcome to hopefully the last medical update post on the Bill-og. After a mere seven weeks after open heart surgery, exactly one month after a second heart surgery, and only 20 days after having approximately five litres of Pleural fluid drained from my chest, I have been declared fit to return to duty by the […]

V-minus 1 Week and Counting
Only a mere seven days separates me from the beginning of my life as a premier tri-athlete. In preparation I met with the always awesome Dr. Rosenbaum today.

Moooo-re information
