<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/h2>\nHey
\nAt least he\u2019s alive
\nI\u00a0was\u00a0<\/strong>going to say \u2018still kicking\u2019 but that\u2019d be appropo I suppose.
\nSo I\u2019ll follow up if I hear anything else.
\nThey got him on the \u2018good stuff\u2019 so it may be a minute.
\nMore Later

\nUpdate by Barry:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nBig Country is faster than me \ud83d\ude42 Short text chat with Mike a bit ago and yes, he has a matching pair of legs now, having lost the latest chunk below the knee. He has been told by the docs that the healing is going extremely well, good news there. As we would expect his spirits seem good. They have informed Mike that rehab starts tomorrow (Monday). More later as I am going to try and do an in person visit this afternoon.
\nI\u2019ve already told Mike I expect to see him in wheelchair basketball in a few months\u2026<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Update from the hospital visit:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nMike is amazing. I\u2019m pretty sure I would be less cheerful were I in the same position. It\u2019s a tough thing to go through but Mike seemed to be comfortable. We chatted about a variety of things, old TV shows \ud83d\ude42 for one. My first ever visit in person and it felt like visiting an old friend, which it was in many ways. Long road ahead for sure. The details are unclear at the moment but he thinks they will move him tomorrow and begin rehab. Healing is excellent per the docs, a good sign as that is always a concern with this kind of problem.
