Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: artbrooks Date: 17 Nov 06 - 09:15 AM Wound vac - manly parts - no more kids, right? Good to hear he is doing so well, and I hope he does get home next week. With the move these days toward "home recuperation", make sure they don't release him too soon...he's kinda a big guy for you to be doing all of that personal care stuff yourself. |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Charley Noble Date: 17 Nov 06 - 09:15 AM Tawmmie- Thanks for the update. We know Mike's gonna make it home but that doesn't make the process of waiting much easier. I can easily imagine the other projects in your life piling up, and hopefully some local kind friends are taking care of Thanksgiving. Do you need a Mudcat team to fly in and do a clean sweep of the house before Mike arrives? He probably will be just happy to escape the "institutional care." As folks have said, do try to take care of yourself. Charley Noble |

Give the big bear our love and tell him his advice on dealing with the Nibbling Max has worked and he has turned into a rather charming dog. Luv to you both Rhiannon and Mick (and Max as well of course) |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Barry Finn Date: 17 Nov 06 - 02:54 AM Wound vac, manly parts, home on Monday I just deleated what I started to write, I ain't touching that with nut-tings. It's great that he's up to 99% he was writing some real gems at only 65% before, can't wait for what's in store. If he keeps it up "Doc will I be able to play the fiddle after this" who knows what he'll be playing when he's up to it after the mend. Really, I'm tickled to hear he's headinng for home. Best wishes to you both. Barry |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: GUEST,Tawmmie Date: 17 Nov 06 - 01:41 AM Looks like they're going to attach a wound vac to his, yep, his manly parts. The vac is doing a fantastic job on the stomach where they had to open him up again. So they want to do another, "down there". We should get him home Monday? If the Vac works. His mind is at 99%, can't ask for more than that. Hell, I probably only had 95 before. I can't tell you all how I feel, getting him back. That was as close as I ever want to come again. Love to you all, Tawmmie |

Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: GUEST,Tawmmie Date: 12 Nov 06 - 02:35 AM Had another surgery today. Came thru great. Sewed him back together and NO, we don't get to call him lefty. They've got something called a VAC hooked up to his abdominal wound. They cut a filter/sponge to fit, then make it airtight and hook up a vac. This only gets changed Mon, Wed, Fri. Less discomfort for Mike than the twice daily bandage changing. This sucks out any drainage and quickens the healing process. He's talking coming home sometime next week. Whee. Can't wait to get my man home. Thank you for refreshing this thread. I came on yesterday to post and it was gone. :( Of course I didn't know how to find it. Anyway, I only saw Mike for a couple of minutes today. I took a day off and went to the movies, 3 actually. Tawmmie |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Nov 06 - 11:07 PM I wanted to refresh this one as I know many of us are still sending our best thoughts and energy to Mike and we're hoping to hear some even better news soon. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: wysiwyg Date: 09 Nov 06 - 11:30 PM I want ALL the gory details. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: bet Date: 09 Nov 06 - 11:20 PM Come on Mike, up and at it. I'm still going to get down there and meet you and Tawmmie but it would be best if you both where rested and really ready for company. Ugh, I hate to think of myself as company, how about mudcat family. Good thoughts still heading south. bet |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: SINSULL Date: 09 Nov 06 - 03:48 PM Just back from the Getaway with a houseful of people and remembering when you and Tawmmie pulled into the driveway for a visit and some lobsters. Still haven't found anyone tall enough to change the battery in the smoke detector. Get out of that bed and back on the road, Mike. Mary |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: gnu Date: 09 Nov 06 - 03:45 PM And, let's not forget that his CD's are well done and very entertaining. I was lucky enough to win the entire bunch in the Mudcat auction a while back and I love them. You will too, when YOU GET THEM! |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: MMario Date: 09 Nov 06 - 01:39 PM BTW - I hope everyone is aware that they can order Mike's Cd's here and he accepts PayPal. |

Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Ebbie Date: 09 Nov 06 - 01:32 PM With the combined thoughts and prayers and wishes of all, Mike's spirit can't help but be buoyed and supported while his body heals. Let's send a goodly amount to Tawmmie too- we don't want her system to weaken. |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Nov 06 - 09:52 AM The more people thinking good thoughts about Mike , The better ! |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: MMario Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:46 AM Seamus - there shouldn't be any problem getting to 400 or 500 or more...and once he posts "live" is suspect this thing will REALLY take off. |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Rapparee Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:43 AM That shouldn't be a problem. Wanna go for the big five-oh-oh? |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:40 AM Hey guys, wanna see if we can get this thread up to 400 posts and keep the big guy busy when he gets out? Seamus |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: GUEST,Big Jim from Jackson Date: 08 Nov 06 - 11:07 AM My machine went "kablooie", and I've been off line for a week. The first thing I did when I got my new one was to check this thread, and I'm glad things are looking up. Now I've got to go back and renew my "cookie". Hang in there, Mike. I'll be playing a couple of your songs on the radio in the near future (again). |
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike needs good thoughts From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Nov 06 - 02:32 AM Just in case Tawmmie didn't see it on the Secret Santa thread - Just lie back and enjoy the ride Tawmmie and Mike - there is no need to worry about any Secret Santa stuff.... just consider it a 'special delivery' for the old git.
