At this time last Monday, I had just come out of Mather OR with a dozen tubes exiting my body. I had survived a 20 minute heart attack and 6 hours of my body being half dead. Dr. Markowitz and Dr. Avery had taken me to the brink and brought me back safely, albeit painfully into the world. I will be eternally grateful to them and their teams for guiding me through that treacherous surgery.
I had a good breakfast, another shower, and am wearing my first t-shirt. Today was the first day I could lift my arms enough to put on a t-shirt. I did some laps today and had a nursing visit for some blood work. I am running out of veins to stick!
Today, my Ella turns 5. We have a birthday party planned for her this evening with grandparents and sibs. She happily agreed to postpone her BIG party at the kids salon until daddy was better. She is dying to open her presents.
Just like yesterday, TODAY is a better day.
So glad you are getting better day by day! Happy birthday to Ella! Please let Susan and I know if there is anything we can do… Hope to drop by later this month to check up on you! How about 9 holes at KCC…?
Mike, we are very happy that you are doing well and we will all be better through your example. Since I have known you, you have a way of making hard things look easy. Hope to see you soon.

Mike, glad to hear things are getting better. Let me know when you are up for some cards and I will get Adam and Jeff to come down. Take care and we will talk to you soon. Tim
Mike – Great therapy, and very funny. However, I did see some large butterflies at the Botanical Gardens that could still flatten you.
