Hello all!
I'm Finally Home in my own bed, got home the other day. Between the hospital and the rehab center I was able to get rid of 26days of winter on the calendar. My Gall bladder still hasn't been removed. I'm being referred back to Boston for another consult next week. The majority of the time in the hospital was fighting an infection in my small intestine and colon. It was kinda the perfect storm. I thank you all for your prayers, phone calls and Emails. I was so High on iv Pain meds I may not remember all who called or what dopey conversation I shared with you. In the process of 26 days confined to a bed, my neck back and shoulders have been thrown out of whack to the point that i cant lay my head on a pillow. I have visiting nurses coming daily as well as physical therapy. I took the remainder of January off and will reassess my status as of February 1st. I recently found out that Massachusetts doesn't offer Temp-disability. We lost about 6-7k between december and January. I have some nice guitar related gear for sale if anyone is interested. I'm considering getting a korg micro arranger while im healing to have something much more lightweight to go back to work with maybe sooner.

Again, Thank you Everyone for your prayers, calls, and friendship

All in all, a huge step in the right direction...

Stay strong, Mikey...you have a lot of people thinking of you...

Good to see you back home, Mikey...you must be glad to be back in your home environment.

You have my sincere wishes for a complete, and speedy recovery.

... wishing you a quick and full recovery. It stinks when you are sick, especially if you are not able to do what you love - playing music to a responsive audience.
Ciao,
Jerry

I'm glad to hear you're at home again. I wish you well and hope you get back to doing what you love soon.

Get well soon Mikey.....enjoy your microARRANGER it will make you creatively happy....Godspeed!

Good to hear you're on the mend, Mikey! Hey, that little Korg will sit just fine on your lap as you work your way back to 100%. All power to you.

Hi Mikey,
Great to hear that you're back on the mend. Welcome back.
I think you'll enjoy the little microArranger.
I'm certainly having lots of fun with mine. I'll try to give you a call later today.

Scott

Mikey,

Glad you're home and recovering. Great talking to you on Friday, stay well my friend. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Happy to hear you are home and recovering.
Here's wishing you the best.
Eddie

Welcome back Mikey, and hope you get your MicroArranger wish.
Don't give up on the temp benefits...write and/or call your Congressman, and ask him or her what alternative you have.

Unfortunately, many Americans can't afford top notch health insurance, have no alternative, and end up with major money problems...but that's a whole another political argument for another time.

Continue to Get Well and I hope things work out

Larry

Hi Mikey,

I attempted several times today
to reach you (via Skype to landline) at your 'Balloon Animal' phone number
but the call doesn't go through.

Scott

Mikey, I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better.

Mikey ... welcome home and continue to recover ... you are in our prayers ...

All the best Mikey.
