Hi there. Mike here...
It's been a month since the surgery, so I thought I'd just post a little update. My recovery is going slowly but surely; I feel a little better almost every day. When I think of the state I was in at this time on April 2, well...I'm MUCH better now.
I'm up and around for the most part, but I do get tired easily and much of the day is still spent with things that take longer than they should: getting washed up and dressed, eating (still a time-consuming chore), managing the medications, etc. But I'm also starting to get some exercise, tapering off the pills, and beginning to see the humor in my circumstances. (And there's actually a fair amount of it if I just step back a little bit!)
Thanks again to all who have been in touch since I got out of the hospital. Your support continues to be a big help to my recovery! My next check-up with the doctor is May 7 and I'm expecting a good report. I'm really looking forward to getting back into the real world soon!

Hi, Mike! It is good to hear from The Man himself! Sounds like you are still the star patient for Dr. Futran and crew. I certainly empathize with you about the chore of eating (I'm dealing with getting a dental implant, ugh), and I'm glad you are sticking with the program. Being up and about has got to be good, too, and I hope you've been enjoying our intermittent sunbreaks on this Cinco de Mayo. Good luck with your checkup Monday--hope there will be more good news. The real world awaits you!
Take care,
Peggy
Hey Mike! I'm so glad to hear that things are going well - even though slowly, things seem to be heading in a positive direction! I am just settling in here in Palo Alto, I feel like I got my first night of sleep in a week or so last night - the end of school was very hectic. Anyway, I hope things continue to go the way they are and I'll look forward to hearing about your check up
