Well, crap. Back in the hospital.

Woke up 0230 with stabbing pain in my left side just under the rib cage, like somebody was taking a Sykes-Fairbairn dagger and probing for my lung. Called Doc and he, like me, feared a pulmonary embolus. Made it into the ER in record time. CAT scan on lungs said no, praise the Lord. Further tests revealed that something is leaking internally, with probable infection. They stuck another drain in me and here I am sitting in Room 539 back at Trinity Montclair. Keep me in your prayers.

Well, crap!
Mike, I'm still praying for your full recovery. Being back in the hospital sucks big time.
Get well quickly.

You and yours will be in my Prayers - selfishly praying to keep you in this side of the Veil... 'cause we need you.

I went to Holy Thursday Mass tonight. During our prayers of the people, I added your name to the sick and hospitalized list.

I kept the first hour of the vigil & mentioned your name several times. Glad to know you're alert and lucid.

I'll keep your name on my lips whispering in God's ear. Please keep the faith and keep up the good work. We need you to keep going on the Gunwalker scandal. Maybe, just maybe, we can head off the race war some people seem to want to start.

Prayers sent. Look on the bright side Mike, if you hadn't been so miserable you'd have never gone to the ER and found the problem.

Get yourself patched up and back to work soon.

BTDT! But since you and your Doctor are up to speed on this you should be fine in no time.

Keep up the fight!
