I just got off the phone with Smokey, he was able to visit with Mike at the hospital yesterday for a little while. Mike is doing a lot better now and is out of the ICU. He's sore and being constantly monitored but he is in good spirits and even joked about hitting the ditch a week from tomorrow :p .

He was also very happy and appreciative of the support he's received from everyone. Smokey said he seemed a little suprised by the volume of thoughts & prayers he recieved...

I hope to see him tomorrow (feeling a little crappy today but I might head up later today).

Again good news!

thats great news . If I was Mike id be at least fishing somewhere on sand a week after I got out of the hospital . unless of course he is sporting a zipper ! youll be out in no time fishing Mike !

Excellant!
Glad to hear that .
Saltheart, think positive and get well soon. And don't hassle those pretty nurses, they have a job to do ;)

Tihs is the first I have heard about this. Saltheart and Smokey were the first guys I met through this site. Hope all goes well just get a wheelchair and we'll put you on your rock!

It still looks like Saltheart Is coming home sat.But the big man is going to need some rest. Saltheart's sister has been calling me daily . I did get to see him today and he did look better.
I'm doing alot better get around Boston. Some day I mite solo.

Way to go guys, hope he has the smarts to take it easy a bit and follow the doctors instructions.

Smokey, glad to hear Saltheart is doing better and coming home. Please tell him he is still in our prayers for a full recovery. Tell him to take it easy the fish will wait for him.
