As I'm sure you all are aware our dear friend Mike had some serious medical issues of late and he spent last week in the hospital having portions of his anatomy removed. We all, in our own way, asked God, the Goddess, the gods, the Universe, the Force to smile upon him and positively intercede on his behalf. Prayers, well wishes and positive energy were sent and small rodents were sacrificed to ancient, all but forgotten Sumerian deities. And they heard. And they smiled. And they gave Mike really great painkillers. And they saw that it was good. Now he's back with us and we'll see that is good as well. If for no other reason than his blogs are routinely peppered with nearly naked pictures of really hot women.
I'm not going to go into detail about Mike's medical issues. That's something that is very personal and to talk about medical issues and private bodily functions to just about anybody that will listen would make me my mother. I'd hate to have this blog interrupted by a gunshot and the spattering of the contents of my head on the screen because I've made my daughters swear a solemn oath that they'd shoot me if I ever started acting like her. But enough about me, I was talking about Mike. I want him to be able to put his illness behind him. To forget about being in the hospital and surgery and all that and to move forward and concentrate on recovering. To that end I'd like to give Mike a few gifts and some suggestion for things he can do to make himself feel better.
First, I'd like to present him with this lovely gift pack (I'd like to present him with it but I'm cheap so I'm just presenting him with the picture of it) which includes a T-Shirt, button, sticker, and an adorable plush stuffed toy. The T-Shirt says "When Urine Love".
Next, Mike really needs to focus on his diet. He needs to eat well in order to recover and build his strength. I understand that these have lots of protein.
Plus, there's nothing better than comfort food when you're under the weather so here's a hearty Steak and Kidney pie to stick to his ribs. Kitty sent this all the way from England.
Tequila Mockingbird insisted on contributing so when he's feeling a little better he can have a little medicinal nip from one of these nicely engraved flasks. The description said they were kidney-shaped but I'm not sure what that had to do with anything.
I'm sure he's doing a lot of resting right now but when he's up and about it's important that he have a proper, ergonomically designed workstation. He can do his blogging from this compact computer desk. The description said it was kidney-shaped but I'm not sure what that had to do with anything.
When the weather's warmed up and he's cleared to get his incision wet he can get some exercise and cool off at the same time in this beautiful pool. The description said it was kidney-shaped but...well, never mind.
And don't you worry about pool maintenance brother, I've got that covered. She can't wait to see your scar.
We missed you buddy and we're very glad you're back and doing well. Sincerely.
