On December 22nd, Enrico had his first ski after his heart surgery last winter. He said that he felt really good about it, but it also sounded a bit traumatic, as he skied the same route where he collapsed after having multiple small strokes from the tumor on his heart flicking off materials into his bloodstream. He remembered struggling to get back over the dike and get home. There is also a lot he doesn't remember about that day. Recovery from surgery was long, and he felt good about being able to return to skiing. All the swimming he has been doing to get back in shape helped him to feel good on the trail. He liked the tracks I set for him earlier in the day and was happy when he came back. Hurray, Enrico! So glad he survived that ordeal to ski another season. 2017 has been a challenging year, but we have much to be grateful for.
