Hey Wes, if you somehow read this.....You're living a dream man and you worked hard to achieve it. I just started work again after having a week off last week. It fucking sucks, I have a great job but the word job has a different meaning than yours.
So, all these dramatized things that almost make it sound like you died in a tragic accident are hyperbole. To me at least.
I know it is going to be painful and tough, but you never had anything handed to you as far as I know. You'll make it back and thanking the fans will be a nice gesture but YOU will be the one to do it. I really believe if you traded bodies with Greg Oden you would be playing right now.
