DAY 24 AT EDWIN SHAW
Mike got his feeding tube out today! He is now entirely tube free! He said it hurt though, for about 5 minutes. He was allowed to eat 20 minutes after them pulling it. He continues to eat and eat. He weighed 151 lbs today.
Other than that, he was in good spirits tonight. He was chatting up a storm and joining in conversations. He really enjoyed his visits today from Kurt and Brian.
Would you believe that I got served a November 21, 22, and 23rd jury duty with the Medina County Court of Common Pleas?! Um, yeah, like I'm gonna skip being with my family around Thanksgiving (because I really truly believe Mike will be home by then) to serve on your jury.
Okay, after I write this I am going to fill out their little survey. It is so nice of them to give you a survey so you can point out every politically incorrect thing about yourself to the lawyers. I think I'll start with Grandpa Hoyt's favorite thing, "Oh I would be fair. I can tell just by looking at them if they are guilty or not." ...Yeah, that should do the trick. I'll also add a few other things about the time Grandpa's shop was broken into by that thug kid.
Little story. You may have at some point heard someone in my family utter the phrase in an Arnoldian accent, "I'll be bake."
You see, this thug kid broke in to Grandpa's shop, grabbed some spray paint, and painted, "I will kill you next time. I'll be bake." on Grandpa's shop floor. Dumb@$$--all I got to say. Haha, if he would have been "bake", he would have found Grandpa's shotgun aimed at his face. I think I'll tell them about that kid too and how I hate juvenile delinquents that target our community's senior citizens. I'll bust out every ounce of smut I can find to put on that survey so they think I am just a redneck dirtbag and dismiss me. I'm creative, it should work, so long as I don't lie. Maybe I'll tell them about some of my encounters with folks in the ICU waiting room...or our favorite characters in Akron. We have Backwards Walking Man, Incense Man, Preacher Man, Euro Gyro Pimp (he has his ladies' names tattooed on his head), Bierce Bum (he fishes used cigs out of the ashtrays and smokes them), and of course the classy folks who hang out on the corner of Exchange and Brown waiting to give plasma for crack money. Yeah, we've got a nice collection of criminals in Akron here. I'll also tell them how I feel about the majority of the folks hanging around downtown at 11am on a weekday just sittin on their butts working hard for their money.
Anyways, I've got stuff to do. Mike was incredible tonight. His psychologist even told us Mike is doing phenomenal. He said he's doubled his score since he got here (Rancho I guess).
I think he will be coming home sooner than later.
