I recently got back to playing music with my band from church. We’ve had a couple of practices in the past couple of weeks. I haven’t played with them since 2016, but things came back to me fairly quickly and it was awesome. The group had been playing together since 2002 or so, and it was like getting back with family. I looked back at some of the texts and correspondence I had with the other members when I quit, and I was in a weird, funky place when I left. A break was probably the best thing for me at the time -- but wow, the void it left in my life was so noticeable.  

We crave familiarity in our lives. We all want to be with a tribe, a pack, a family…a team that has your back. I probably comment way too much on how long I’ve been in my position (25 years) and it’s not because there is nowhere else to go, but rather there is nowhere else I’d rather be.  

Recently, Iowa Specialty Hospital Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Andrew Odland had the opportunity to perform a humanitarian surgery case on a gentleman from Peru.

The patient, Manuel Sandoval, had been living with pain in both of his knees for a very long time. Through the efforts of his daughter-in-law Hannah, who is also the daughter of Iowa State Representative Terry Baxter, Manuel was able to receive treatment from Dr. Odland at Iowa Specialty Hospital's state-of-the-art facility.
