PS

In that last post I forgot one of the most important things: When Mick was in recovery, long before we saw him, the young doctor standing over him trying to hoist him out of eight-and-a-half hours of anesthesia said “I’ve heard people say a lot of crazy shit when they’re coming to, but I’ve never heard anyone say what you said.” Bleary and brainless, Mick asked him what he'd said. The doctor said "You said Life is so beautiful."
