Hey Gang.. I just got this from Mike's wife: !!!!!!!

In Mike's words:

from Mike:

Hello all...from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you all.  My wife printed all the replies and I started crying several times.  You all mean the world to me and your words and encouragement pull me through, really.  I have made phenomenal success and the doctors said I am checking out tomorrow or Monday.  I'll be in physical Rehab again at the same place I was last time.  I hope to have the same drive as last time when I started walking with the aid of a walker and braces.  Please know you all played a major part in my re-cooperation.  When I can, I'll be back here explaining it all.

Mike

The guy's got more heart and determination in his pinky finger than most people do in their entire bodies.


Look forward to seeing you back on the forums, Mike.

This post will be on various websites and threads so please excuse the redundancies: I stopped by to see Mike today and we ended up talking for about an hour and a half. I took him a bunch of car magazines, a poster of a '70 Hemi Charger R/T and a chicken sandwich. The conversation bounced back and forth between Chargers, mortality and the power of prayer and support by you fine people. Kind of an eclectic mix of topics but those were obviously the most important. Mike is doing very well and even said one of the doctors suggested he might go home as soon as today. However, it seems he will be going to a physical rehabilitation facility nearby the hospital to start working on his mobility again. He said there was a lot of speculation that things would turn out much worse than they did (and that was what everyone expected) so he's very happy to have experienced such a strong and sudden recovery. The only real problem he said he experienced was some short-term memory loss -- things like he couldn't quite remember which cars he had, if he was working or not and that he was in a wheelchair. He says it's all back now and all he had to do to remember was sit and think about it all for a while. Once he gets into the rehab section of the complex he'll be able to get online and you can hear it all straight from the horse's mouth. That will probably be no later than Monday, maybe even tomorrow.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, and the experts too, there's no real plausible or scientific reason that Mike should be sitting up talking to anyone right now with virtually no negative consequences, and yet he is. Those of you who have never seen or believed in miracles can now say you just experienced one here.

I hope Mike likes it, I had a few ''one offs'' made of that patch, it is not anything production, I thought
the Gal that helped me make them 'with the bigger size I wanted as well' did a good job.

I will have to run down there again, as soon as he is feeling up for vistors of the Charger perswation  :icon_smile_big:

We have a few things in common  :icon_smile_big:  right MIRACLE Mike?

He does work in mysterious ways!  Amen to that brother!  Man I am as happy as a "tornado in a trailer park" (quoted from the movie Cars) hehe!

Thanks for the updates from both youz guyz, they're very appreciated!

Way to go Mike, here's hoping you have a speedy & full recovery in the rehab center. :cheers:
Oh & I can see how remembering which cars you own could be a problem, I have a hard time keeping your cars straight sometimes too. :smilielol:


RD, I laughed outloud at the movie when they said that tornado in the trailerpark crack, that was hilarious! :smilielol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
