Hey guys, I'm new to the site but have been an AHD for about 10 months. Had back surgery in Dec. that the surgeon botched (actually damaged the disc above the one he was working on!!). So other than being an AHD, I have at least two physical therapy appointments a week, not to mention that I find out in two weeks when I have my next surgery. But the way I look at it, it's a perfect example of "every cloud has a silver lining". If I didn't have the problems with my back, I never would have got the opportunity to land the greatest job on the planet.... Stay At Home Dad. Being at home has also given me the chance to work on my writing as well. I even got picked up by a literary agent and it looks like my children's book might get published!!! Anyways, duty calls... or should I say, doody calls.
