Foot Surgery and a New Ride


Mike went in to the doctors and had a planters wart removed from his foot. They told him that with the anti rejection drugs the wart would grow very large and become uncomfortable.  When he went in today the doctor was very impressed at how brave he was and how the pain did not seem to bother Mike. Mike said that after having a transplant nothing seems as painful anymore. 

Mikes reaction to the E coli is much better. He has a few more days of antibiotics and he is done. His cough is better and he is out more with a higher level of energy the last two days. 

I wanted to do something special for him so I talked with him about getting a new (used car). Something really nice that he could be proud to drive to school and around town. I admit Alex and I trash cars and we like to eat in the car an bring all our stuff around with us.   This car is just for Mike and will stay clean and beautiful just how he likes it. 

We found a nice one through Carmax and they were great to deal with. The sales man Naveen in Costa Mesa treated us like gold and it was so easy to get it. Mike drove it home and was so happy. I love it when he smiles. It has been a long time and so it was a great thing to see. 

He can't drive it with the top down in the day because he can't have the sun on his skin. But during the morning and in the evening he can have some topless fun.

The new Mike is his new car! Life is good!
