Just had a nice chat with Mike. He is in better spirits today than he has been all weekend. We laughed, and he seemed more "with it" today. Albeit, he's quote hopped up on morphine, but he sounded more "there" than he has the past few days.
He does have a steady stream of visitors and phone calls. I asked him if it was too tiring or if it was good, and he did say that although it is a bit tiring, it's very good to have the support. So...keep the visits and phone calls coming!
He's still just feeling "ok". He didn't talk too much about the pain today, which is an improvement from yesterday. He is a bit frustrated because of the delay in the hand surgery. Not because he was in a big rush to get his hand operated on, but because of the reason for the "delay of game". Apparently, he'd been asking the nurses, etc to check on his left side (with the big owie), because it was bleeding, and nobody seemed to think much of it. Then today, he had lost enough blood to require a CT scan to check for the internal bleeding, and thankfully, there was none. But the hematoma that is present, might have been spotted earlier, and that was a bit annoying to him.
He's tired, and his voice is a little scratchy (for a variety of reasons I'm sure), but all-in-all, he sounded good. He has visitors now, and is very blessed to have such good friends.
Now...I'm off to make cookies...so far, that has been his only request from san diego...a special cookie just for him...so off to make those and send his way.
Keep thinking good thoughts....
Love & Blessings,
karin
