The Hare and the Tortoise

The moral of the story is slow and steady wins the race. Though Mike wants to be the hare (and that's where his head is at right now) he needs to be the tortoise.

He is alert for longer periods of time and starting some basic physio (by physio we mean being lifted into a chair and sitting upright instead of being in bed). He still tires quickly but we know he is building up his energy to tell us loads of stories soon.

Mike has been sporting various hairstyles these past couple weeks as his different nurses test out their styling prowess. Anne-Marie's favourite is the slicked back, Italian style 'do. It is quite becoming!

Hi Mike - Congratulations on your amazing post-op progress. We are both holding our breath (seemed appropriate) and hoping you have a speedy and complete recovery. Thinking of you, Anne Marie and the girls. It's been a long journey for all of you.

Cheers and best wishes to all,

Bryan and Mary
