A Year in Pictures of Working

Hedges came down to North Carolina with us despite having eye surgery a week ago. Detached retina. He explained the operation, but once he got to the part about how they pulled the eyeball completely out of the socket... I stopped listening.

After the surgery, there was a fanny pack waiting for him. Inside were various types of medical eye drops (steroids) and special sunglasses.

Me: So you have a doctor-prescribed fanny pack?
Hedges: Even if I wanted to wear it, it doesn't fit around my waist.

The doctor cleared him to fly for this trip, but Hedges wasn't sure if he should perform in our Otis show or not. The doctor had advised him to avoid activities that would elevate his heart rate. He ended up improvising in the show anyway, and is doing just fine.
