Hi Friends - Mikey had a pretty rough time yesterday with his surgery and getting control of his pain level. I've never heard his say he was higher than a 6, but he was claiming loud and clear that he was an 8 last night. After mixing up a new cocktail of painkillers the foot started feeling a little better. The recovery time downstairs was longer than usual, but all is fine and the foot has been prepared for Thursday's surgery and the free flap.
Mike and his long time buddies Clay and Serge
My dear friend Christopher Locatell shared Mike's story with this Doc Wong motorcycle group and specifically with the Bikers For Christ. This afternoon Mike Friend, Kelly and his wife Marilyn came up to see MC and to have a prayer with him. They offered to mow his lawn this week. Oh wow! We might just take them up on that offer!
Toni my good, good wild and crazy friend and haircutter
came by to give Mikey a good old fashioned cut.
Today we received an email from Dixie Regional's Marti and out Case Manager. Here is her email -
Hi Sherry!
I have been following your blog (quite proud of myself!) and am staying encouraged. It sounds like you are also taking some care of yourself and getting some work done. For that I am proud of you!
The video of you and Mike was just sent out to the entire block of employees and was beautiful. Thank you for doing that.
I assume the hospital has sent you a copy, but just in case I have also attached it.
Take good care of yourselves and thanks for staying in touch
Marti
