Damn it! Mike was a very close friend of mine that I am trying to connect with. Ok, personal. I want to know what is going on.

Hi there! Somehow you popped into my head today (I think a co-worker was talking about how their patient was the "most motivated patient ever" and I thought to myself that they were wrong.) ANYWAY I wanted to say Hi! Checked in on your blog and read the latest update from your high school speaking trip. LOVED IT! Hope all is well.

thinking about you mike. hope all is well.

Hi Mike, It sounds like you are doing great. We had a fire here in Midwest City and our house burned down. We are staying in a hotel right now and hope to be in a rental soon. My problem is i lost all information & I am trying to rebuild my email addresses & postal addresses. Could you send me yours, Erin, Mr Kennedy, Dick Clark & anybody else you might have that I know. We are doing ok & all the animals made it out fine. that's it for now, hope you get this.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your hospitality to Greg and me this morning, But you deserve a greater thanks for the enthusiasm and fearlessness that you apply to life and that you shared with us. Thanks too for the ski poles. I'm sure Greg will get out and use them every day like you suggested. I hope that he will be showing off how well he walks when we return the poles. I'm glad we got to meet, and I don't want to waste any opportunity to learn even more from you.

Erin told me you'd moved and I wanted to pop in and say hello and tell you how much it meant for your family to include me in so many things when I was growing up- especially when things were dismal.

I love this blog, maybe I should set one up for my Dad's adventures.

Michael,
You never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work and I wouldn't be surprised to see you on tv before this is over with.

Hi Mike
You just can't get rid of me! I already have a question from another therapist regarding the c-leg, but I have turned your chart over to medical records and forgot to hold on to your email address! Can you email me with your address again so I can keep in touch? Also, are you behaving yourself? Hope so!
Emily

Mike, Hi, I'm the reporter who interviewed you at Drake Outpatient Center last March, and got video of you on treadmill. I'm writing the story as we speak and would like to get copies of some of the photos you have on your site. You hiking, you doing the waverunner, etc... Can you send me some?

Hi Mike this is Delores Martin-Pankey from the braceshop (leak and squeak leg) I'm about to get started on a new prosthesis I'm excited! however I thought about you and your up coming adventure. Just wanted to wish you well and have a great time. hope to hear from you soon. Good luck and don't do anything i wouldn't do, which is (everything).

How amazing you have done I have a 5 yo grandson wth below knee amp. He has had his leg since he was 1 1/2 doing well can't hold him down.

Appalachian Trail Mike:
I have more or less caught up with your winter of 2008 on your site and also was amazed to see a visit to the site by Mirko Haaser of Bremen.
You are doing fantastically - keep it going.
Let us know when you start your Appalachian Trail training and your progress.
Also, don't forget you owe me some information and / or a call.

Best wishes,
Al

Mike, and of course Emily!
I came to this site by looking for my surname via google. Its great to know that there is such a great and warm heated Haaser family living across the big sea.
Good luck,
