Well I meant to write yesterday, but didn't.
Mike got discharged Friday about 4pm to go home.
He is now recovering at home. He got his bandage taken off and the drain tube out. They had to put a stitch in that hole at his bedside. He said it was a bit freaky seeing them come at your head with a needle, and that he has had his fair share of needles for life.
The wound itself is a bit scary to put it mildly. Actually, it is really scary if you aren't expecting it. We of course have already seen him like that, but for Mike it was shocking to see it in the mirror. It kinda puts it in perspective what all he's gone through.
Other than that, discharge went well, and we are all so happy the hospital ordeal is finally over. The last 5+ months have been unlike any other, but things finally are starting to feel like they are wrapping up and getting better. Pending good luck in life, we won't have to spend that much time in the hospital ever again.
