Thursday surgery went well. Dr. Saffle didn't think Mike's scapula needed to be grafted so he concentrated on his head and eyes. He is back in the Burn Trauma ICU, in the room he started in back in August. The surgery went well. He has staples in his head with a piece of adaptic so Bette couldn't see what it looks like. She said they took The donor skin from his right lower leg. His eyes have cotton rolls under his eyes that looked like a mini tampax. Mike says "gee thanks". They will keep him in bed for a few days to let the areas heal. He will be there at least until Sunday. Then it depends on how the grafts look where he will be. Maybe back at Promise.
Bette talked to the guy cleaning her house. It sounds like insurance is pressuring them to get the job done so they are moving stuff back into her house. She will have to go to Pocatello to see what's up before they call it good. Bette plans to talk to the case manager to see what the plan is for Mike.
Mike was sitting up eating jello but wants a chili cheese dog! He's grumpy. So Bette's outta there.

More later,
and so we go
