Here's Ben running this Sunday giving Cassie the "thumbs up" as he passes by. He said he felt pretty good after the run. He had abdominal surgery the 3rd of Sept. and has 5 little incisions in his mid section. He'd been having problems for years swallowing and terrible heartburn. He'd even given up his goal of running the Boston Marathon when he turned 50 next year because he couldn't do much more than a half without it zapping all his strength. He finally saw the right doctor who, after checking him out and running a bunch of tests said the best thing to do would be surgery. His espohagus was just to tiny nothing could get through. He has now gone from a week of nothing but soft foods to flaky and more. This is something he has been suffering with for years but the last half a dozen years have been terrible for him. It is so nice to sit down to dinner and have him be done at the same time as the rest of us and not have him up walking around to get is dinner to go down. It's all looking good from her on out..
