When I think back over the past few years I realize how lucky I am that:
1) Mike is still alive
2) We are together and back in the US working (me), living and enjoying life!
We’ve had some close calls…
In 2004 Mike’s Harley Davidson Night Train was totaled in a wreck outside of Seattle and so was Mike (almost). He was driving too darn fast!
In 2007 Mike had his first seizure. Out of the blue. No known reason for it.
In 2008 Mike had his 2nd and 3rd seizures in Mexico City. We found the reason. A cyst growing on his brain. And then Mike had 2 brain surgeries in Mexico City.
By 2009 we found our way back to the Great Pacific Northwest and Mike had his 4th seizure. We found that he needs to make sure he takes his anti-seizure meds AND that he keeps them down – that should prevent seizures.
So here we are in Salem, Oregon. Saturday night we celebrated our anniversary with a night out at Bentley’s Grill in the Phoenix Grand Hotel here in downtown Salem. It was fab! On a cold, dark night we found refuge in the warm, beautifully holiday-season decorated dining room with a fire pit. Mike had a scallops and prawns brochette and I had the steelhead trout special. Very nice. And a lovely venue to celebrate love.
