Greetings Evvabody!
Again, it’s been a loooong couple of weeks for our Fearless Leader. He was doing good, then not so much, then good, then back to not so much… well, it would appear, leastways on it’s face that he’s finally getting around to where he’s being transferred tomorrow to start his full on PT and Rehab. The whole Omnicrom or whatevz caused a brief delay, as well as some more cuttin’ on Mike… sounds like he’s “Frankenmike” these days, stitched up like a rag doll… BUT
He called me tonight and we got to talk for a few before Nurse Ratched showed up to enforce the ‘no laughter’ rules.
He is, in his own words “…ready to put this shit behind me and relearn how to do -stuff- again!” I won’t go into details, but without going all graphic, I think his idea of heaven right now would be to use an actual toilet bowl as opposed to the bedpan brigade that he’s been stuck with. The whole ‘learning to walk ‘ thing is scheduled a bit down the road, but for now, and pardon the pun, one step at a time.
Now, other things is Wifey is going up thataways in the next week or two. She’s got to go visit a very old and dear friend who’s in similar circumstance… this ole girl though broke her leg and has nobody (fambly speaking) in the immeadiate A.O. to assist, so’s Wifey is dispatching up there to help out for a week or so. She’ll be passing by Mikey’s Torture Palace, and as I told him point blank:
“You’ve been on vay-kay long enuff. I’m sending you Wifey with a laptop for you to start getting back on here… the Cold Fury regulars are sick of me, and it’s getting ugly(er).”… and considering this crowd, that’s pretty damned ugly. He’s looking forward to it, and his mood is much better. For a while he was really down, but it looks like the light at the end of THIS particular tunnel ain’t a train.
Lastly, I thought I mentioned it but Mike opened for, played with, and knows Brian Setzer of “Stray Cats” fame, and he’s got a new album and tour going on, so I reached out… not for a donation per say, but to see if he could at least use some of that serious star power to help out Mike a bit. We shall see.
So it’s -finally- looking up. More as we go I’m the Intrepid Reporter

Makes sense. Laughter is the best medicine, so those in the business of purveying medicine don’t want it cutting into their profits.
Thanks for the news.

Glad to hear good news regarding Mike.
Thanks for the update. It was a good idea to try the Setzer route. Whatever can be done should be tried. I hope Setzer can come through.
Thanks for the update! I am glad to hear Mike is getting closer to getting out of the hospital and into the PT process.
Thanks for the update – tell him we’re all waiting, and we’ll be here when he gets back.
FYI,,, they finally moved Mike out of the hospital to the rehab center this morning.
That’s great news. Thanks for the update!
Seconded! Good news indeed.
Thirded! Fantastic, on the mend.
