Hey guys,

it's been just over 1 week since the surgery,
i go back to the Dr's on the 15th,
lets just say i didn't realize how much pain one could indure,
i hate the meds because they bring me to a dark space from my past so i use them spareingly !!!
i just suck it up and try to keep my mind off the pain, alot of this can be a mental thing if you don't take control of yourself !!

OK, i want to thank everyone again for the great advice and your support and Prayers.

regards,

Mike Gallagher, NJ.

Big Mike,
  You are in my Prayers and I know how that medication can play tricks on your mind.  Just look forward to Mid Ohio and the fun you will have with your Friends.  If you need to talk call anytime.

Mikey,
From another Irishman to you, don't mean this to sound weird or "too much info" for this column, but the pain meds stopped me up like a bag of quick-dry cement.  I weaned myself off them as fast as I could,  lived with the pain during the day and took half a pill at night to knock the edge off so I could sleep...and when I took the half pill I also took a stool softener which helped a lot.  Don't mean to get overly graphic...and it may not affect you that way...but it sure made me miserable!  Hope you ain't!

Mike,
Passing along some medicine (humor)

Seems 2 Irishmen were shipwrecked and floating in the Atlantic in a rowboat, something floats past the bow, fellow pulls it into the boat, turns out to be a magic lamp. He rubs it, the genie pops out and declares, "OK fellows, one wish." Irishman in the rear says "turn
this bloody ocean into beer!" "Done" says the genie, snapping his fingers.
First fellow turns around, looks at his partner and says, "Great! Now we have to piss in the boat!"

Ho Ho Ho to all of us Pentonites.

Hey guys - HAPPY NEW YEAR -

Tony this is too funny, i was going to update this post this evening,

last Wed. the Dr. told me not to ware the air cast/sling anymore and to start Phy. Therapy,

today was my 1st day of therapy, they just looked things over and did measurements on how far i could move the arm, at this point i only have about 10% movement, they say i have a long way to go to build the strength back, now the fun begins - OUCH - 3 days a week until i get back to full capacity, hopefully by the summer !!

OK, i want to thank every one who has given me the support and prayers to tackle this endevor, you are a great family !!!

regards,

Mike Gallagher, NJ.

Mike,
It's good to hear about the positive progress! Remember that this is a slow process and not to rush things past what the doctor recommends. Thanks for the update. BTW I won the MX3 ad. Mike
