Been out of commission for a couple of weeks now. My last shoot was two weeks ago, and right after that, things took a wild turn. 📉
Later that night, I was hit with intense chest pain that I completely brushed off as stubborn acid reflux. Except the pain refused to let up. By 5:00 AM, I ended up at the emergency room in Selkirk, and by 10:00 PM that same day, I was transferred over to Concordia. I felt okay the next morning—right up until 2:00 AM when the exact same pain struck again. Back to Concordia I went, where scans revealed an infection that meant emergency surgery. They rushed me to St. Boniface, and two days later, I was out of surgery with my gallbladder removed—turns out it was packed full of stones. 🏥💊
Recovery kept me grounded, meaning zero new content for a bit. Silver lining? I had a backlog of untouched photos and videos ready to go. This past week has been surreal—I’ve dropped 25 pounds and genuinely feel better than I did leading up to the surgery. 💪⚖️
Today, I finally decided to get back out there. Hit up the Pineridge Farmers Market, then took the drone up over St. Boniface to capture this incredible panoramic shot. Grabbed plenty of fresh photo and video content while I was at it. 🚁📸
To top off the outing, my wife and I headed over to The Thirsty Lion to try out their Le Burger Week entry: the Aloha Burger. We split it, and I’ve got to say—it was an absolute 10/10 burger, and my system handled it with zero issues. 🍔🍍
At 48, this whole experience has been a massive reality check. I'm not getting any younger. Once I'm healed up a bit more, I'm diving right back into weight training and cardio. Good thing I’ve got a full setup waiting in the spare bedroom—no excuses. 🏋️♂️🔥
Well, here is the full panoramic view I captured today! 👇✨
