Visited Michael

Made a quick visit to see Michael on the way home from work. With luck he's going to be home on Sunday. He looks fine, although he does have some nasty head wounds from when he collapsed.

They have been able to repair the damage to his hearts blood supply which actually caused the attacks, but they have found some other areas which need repairing - which means he'll be called back to hospital within the next few months (once his current problems have had time to settle down). He's under strict instructions to take it really easy for the next few months - although he seams more worried about getting back to work.

Michael has promised to give up smoking! This is a major step for him, and we're all so glad he's going to give it a go. His time in hospital should be helping him kick the habit. It's very sad to see how many people have to come out of the hospital and smoke in the street - they are all lined up in pajamas, many with bags of blood or what not held in their hands!
