Mike's Guestbook

Hello sweet heart! I am writing for the second time in your amazing and informative journal. I am still reading everything you\'ve written and am quite impressed with the man I share my life with. All I can say Sir...is....wow! I love the way you think. I have appreciated sharing all this quality time here at home with you...it still cracks me up that I am communicating with you on my iPad in our livingroom when you are just down the hallway in your miracle lift recliner. What a smart purchase that turned out to be! I will be the first to volunteer to do a commercial for it! A genuine healing tool. You are such a talented and thoughtful person Mike and I love how you see the world....after this operation I have noticed how you are beginning to see this world a bit more clear...from more of a restful place....like stopping to really smell the roses. I do believe that all hard working people could be more relaxed and see a bit clearer if only they could or would stop to smell the roses. Look up from your devices people....there\'s a whole world of interesting people out there to meet and chat with face to face...oh my! I will continue to read everything in your journal and keep up with you. I am so thankful for that funny day in July in Rhode Island that I stopped my journey to Greenwich Village NY and attended that Ritchie Havens concert instead....so that I could be with you today cheering you up and cheering you on. I wouldn\'t miss this for anything. Keep up the healing power....you look wonderful! What a beautiful scar. Dr. Korvar is a fine Tailor...excellent and dedicated surgeon. Love, Debby

Yo Mikey!!! I was glad to see your latest post. I knew you could do it. The battle is truly fought and won in your head long before they cut your skin. Another aspect of using pain medication is that it helps keep the chest busting fear at bay when taking deep breaths and coughing are crucial to your survival. People who have had their chest split open (and other surgeries) have the biochemistry of pain and need not fear becoming addicted or using pain meds inappropriately.

Mike, I\'m glad that you\'re on the mend and able to dole out useful advice for others. Take advantage of this period of rest and recovery - and your family waiting on you - I mean taking care of you. I know that you\'re a good patient. Dolly

Hurray for modern medical technology! I believe you are out of the hospital now---it\'s January 3rd. I have been sending you beems/good thoughts for your swift and pain-free recovery. :) Cool blog. :)

You make the process sound like it was great fun. Hope you\'re resting well at home and that the holidays were good to you. You\'ll be back in cubicle-land before you know it! rg

Hey Mike, It was good to see you looking so porcine, just kidding, you look great. See you later. Hope to get your chair together today so you can be comfy when you get home. Love, Judy

Hi Mike, I heard that you\'re headed home tomorrow. What a difference a week makes, pretty soon you\'re going to be jogging and then headed to the hot tub! Make sure you keep your feet up and enjoy being pampered... Love you, Dolly

Hi Mike! Hope you are doing well as you read this....it was great to have dinner with you and Judy last night..almost like old times at Louie\'s eh?! Well maybe not but just as loud! Have yourself a Holiday shave with the shaver I brought in...I\'ll bring the mistletoe! We love you...see you soon! Love, Debby

12-18 Yea Mike, I knew that you would come through the surgery just fine. I heard a rumor that you have already asked for your iPad - and that\'s another indicator that all\'s going well. Enjoy your opportunity to get some rest before you head home for the holidays. Love you, Dolly & Lee

Wow congratulations Mike. I like your journal it\'s so light hearted(..!) Bad choice of words, but it helps me seeing how positive you can be about surgery. Really glad to hear you\'re doing well. Rach S

With a sense of humor like yours, not to mention experience with the medical establishment, it\'s no surprise you came through the surgery flags a-waiving, I just hope soon it won\'t hurt to laugh. Laughter is the best medicine and all that, I never read the fine print on laughter to know what the side effects are! Enjoy your holidays when you get there, and I\'ll see you on the other side of the year. Jennie Abbingsole

Mike, so Happy to know that your on the mend, and I believe that after all you have gone through with everyone else\'s. Illnesses and taken such good care of them, You yourself are in good hands.Try not to be a tough patient, let yourself rest and mend.You are so Loved by us all. Love Bonny

Lol Don\'t laugh dammit, I don\'t want you to hurt! Jogging tomorrow @ 5am? Not quite ready? Don\'t laugh! Lol! See you soon! Your pals, Kelly & Brittany XO
