Update 15 for Mike Pless (by Mike Pless): March 7, 2024 - 9:00 PM

Got some reasonable sleep last night after being up more or less for 36 hours. 15 min nap here, 20 minute nap there , several times during that 36, but Teri and  are too old for those kind of hours! And I know it's not good for our health!

Anyway, Dr. Brooks and Pit Crew (of 5 today), rolled in around 6:45a. She said everything was looking really good and then proceeded to squeegee under my chin and neck area (thankful I have no feeling in that area), re-packed wound(s), and decided to create some upward pressure to help drainage and minimize edema. That means I now have an Ace bandage wrapped around my head from my chin to the top of my head. Lovely. I was told however, the grandchildren can put stickers on it and make it even more beautiful. I'm an empty canvas waiting for my artists!

Pain and tenderness are significantly less today! Dr. Brooks mentioned in her rolling comments that they had upped my pain medication. Details I lack at the moment but I'm pleased.

Plan today includes getting active again; Laps, squats, OT exercises, and chair sitin'. Wait, that doesn't exactly sound active, chair sitin'. Nevermind.

Love Y'all! Be sure to honor the King in everything you do - great or small.
