Mike Check

You've probably read about my stepdad Mike on here a time or two. He's in a lot of pain. I saw him last weekend when I went home and this bully called cancer is really making things tough for him.

Mike muscled through the radiation last year, but the post-treatment medicine brought with it some unpleasant side effects. The bone in his lower jaw, in fact, began dying months ago, and doctors had planned to replace it with a stretch of bone from his leg in a couple of weeks.

But the pain has become so great that the doctors now are going to do the operation on Monday. This is where you come in.

I know you don't know Mike, but he's a nice guy and he kind of rescued my mom from a difficult life, so for that I owe him dearly. The most I can do from 500 miles away is hope and pray. And of course, publish a blog post where I ask you to keep a stranger named Mike Evansa in your thoughts as well. And you can of course leave a Get Well message right here.

Thanks.
