Sorry Ladies. I am off the market.

That's right.  I am sorry to say it, but it is true.  You see, as of yesterday, I am wearing my wedding ring again.  Here is some background in case you are just tuning in.

After my surgery in January, I sustained severe nerve damage to my left arm, and in turn lost all felling and use of my left hand.  Seeing as I had no feeling in the hand, and my wedding ring is already a little big, and I have already almost lost it twice, I decided to play it safe and wait until I regained feeling before I put it back on.   It took a little longer then expected.

After several weeks of physical therapy, I began to regain strength in the hand, but still did not have feeling in it.  It has just been  in the last few weeks that I have began to regain feeling.  I was ready to put it back on, but with all the hiking and swimming we had planned in Puerto Rico, I figured I would wait until we got home.  In the mean time, I wore the ring on my cross necklace that my wife gave me as a wedding gift, and which I never take off.

So in honor of our anniversary yesterday, I put it back on.

Here is what I learned in the three months I went without wearing my wedding rings.  Nothing.

I would like to tell you that I had women lining up to get my number seeing as how I seemed to be available.  But alas, it was not the case.  Instead, I had to settle for spending everyday with the most beautiful and amazing woman I know.  My wife.  Lucky me.
