Surgery for SergntMac

[MM03MOK]

Mac is undergoing surgery on Monday to repair his right shoulder and arm, broken in a fall in January. He looks forward to gaining his right arm back so he can start posting here and driving his beloved Shelby GT, Lulu. Mac had such a wonderful time in Louisville, meeting long time friends and making new friends. He looks forward to attending Marauderville 9.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Feel free to send him good wishes in this thread! We'll keep you posted on his status.

Mac is a true friend and a great guy that served the majority of his life as a LEO for the Chicago PD.

Humbled I was to find out he held off surgery so he could attend this past years Louisville Regional.

MERCMAN will be traveling to Chicago for the day of the surgery and will keep Mary, Bob and myself in the loop as the procedure unfolds and thru post-op.

He told me you called, Mike. He was pleased. Now he has to figure out how to save your # on his phone or his Executive Assistant will do so on Tuesday. :D

[TAKEDOWN]

I'm glad to hear he's doing fine, I finally met him last year at the Dukes car show!

[dakslim]

Hope all goes well. It was pleasure meeting him at Louisville.

Good Luck to you Sir.
Thanks for all your contributions to the MM community.

[Gryphonzus]

It was good seeing you in Louisville Mac. Your car too. Hope your surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery. We will keep you in our prayers.

[cruzer]

Mac, it's GREAT to hear that you are still up and running--lost contact for a looong time--much to loong--tried to contact about the time you retired and apparently got my phone #s mixed up. Glad to hear you are still running with the pack;)Just last nite, I was looking for some pics for my Grandaughter needed, and ran across all the pics from Ennis in 2003 (MV I)-That was a great time for me--the "fly-by" at 110 mph--the car wash at Waffle House--Marty getting bitten hard by the "Marauder Bug" (look where he is now--and it all started there)--the meeting of you and your group on the way to Ennis--the midnite "time trials" between Dennis and Jerry--when I "stole" a Marauder--- Logan , Bob and the gang really put on a great show. I can't do much travelling now--can't leave home overnight--Ginny's having some problems. Miss you and the "old " gang. Get well soon, Maury:beer::burnout:

[Bigdogjim]

Getting a shoulder fixed it a good thing! Getting it fixed so you can drive a "shelby" is a great thing:up:

Wishes and prayers for a fast recovery.

[PhastPhil]

Prayers and thoughts for a speedy recovery !

Good luck with the surgery and road to recovery Mac. Gordon and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to seeing you at MV9!

[TooManyFords]

Take care Mac. See you soon.
;)

[MM03MOK]

I just read Mac all your kind and supportive posts. He was very touched and said "Thank you!" Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to him. Updates later this afternoon....

[N40GL]

I'll add a belated "speedy recovery" as well, and I look forward to reestablishing our friendship.

Mary: If you can find a way to collect donations for flowers, cigars or dancing girls (or whatever would cheer Mac), count me in.

[Marauderman]

To a speedy recovery and short PT program there Mac----------

Have always thought of Mac as one of the original icons here at the .net----

I met Mac back in '03 in Alt,Ga at one of those Team dyno days-----....hands me the keys to MM 1x and says stay close to Todd going to the muffler shop....wow ---Me getting to drive Mac's KB MM-----cool!...felt like a teenager getting my first drive experience----took off from a big intersection with Mac saying don't lose him and we go sideways across the intersection after Todd....

Oh Yeah---my first intro with Mac---some things are meant to last forever---and meeting him for the first time that day is forever----

Taker care and hope to see ya in Pa for MM IX

[LeoVampire]

Get well soon and I hope your as good as new after your recovery!

[chapel1]

[Ladyhawke]

Thanks for posting Gary!

Just got off the phone with Dan (MERCMAN), and he filled me in on how Mac's surgery went.

Steel plate and screws, no bone graft and all appears well.

Hospital stay should be a couple days while the healing process begins.

Dan and Julie are heading out for a bite to eat, then back to the hospital where Mac should be in his room by then.

Dan will call me in the morning with further updates.

:)

Mike.

[MM03MOK]

Just spoke with Mac. He's a little hoarse and the throat is sore but he's in good spirits, especially since he can have dinner. Been a long day. More updates tomorrow.

[SC Cheesehead]

Thanks for the updates, the latest info sounds encouraging. :up:

[knine]

Get well Soon Mac !!!

[Motorhead350]

Get well soon buddy.

[MM03MOK]

Well, Mac was released to home yesterday. He'll be able to do PT and OT at home. Pain is still high but that will subside in time. We sent him a beautiful bouquet of blue, white and purple flowers. He was overwhelmed!

He's very grateful for the well wishes sent! Please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming!

Get well and come visit ole friend!!:D

[rayjay]

I'm late to this party. Hope your feeling better Mac!


Me too Sarge^^^. Hope you are feeling better.

[MarauderTJA]

Hope you are on the mend Mac....Get well Buddy.

[CRUZTAKER]

Glad to find your surgery went well.

I was sad to miss the Louisville gathering as I would have enjoyed seeing you again.
It just wouldn't have been a healthy environment for me. ;)

Peace brother.

We shall meet again.

[SC Cheesehead]

Any updates on Mac?

[MM03MOK]

Mac returns to the surgeon today to get his staples out. PT will be on his To Do list after discussing it with the doctor. I told him he can get plenty of PT logging into MM.Net! :D We know how important keyboard and mouse skills are. Driving Lulu again is his ultimate goal. I look forward to being a passenger on that ride!

[SergntMac]

Hello my friends.

First...I need to apologize for this belated reply. No excuses, just explanations. I've been very lax in my computerings and I've lost a lot of my talent, as well as my physical ability to resucciate all of that at once. However, thanks to (almost every half hour) of guidance from the Bunny in my ear, I'm getting back on the right track. Explanations concluded, forgiveness is your decision, but either way, don't ****** with the Bunny.

Two...

My Lord...Your comments and well wishing have been invaluable to me in my recovery. Dan, Mary, Gary and Dominick contributted by reading them to me daily, and I thank you all for your compassionate thoughts, prayers and posts.

Your thoughts, prayers and good tidings warmed my heart, especialiy for one who hasn't been around these parts for years, but can still be remembered in the manner I have been honored with.

Please remember that anyone who posts about such life changing events still needs to be remembered by old and distant friends. The value of such is priceless in recovery of the one sidelined by illness or injury. Remember them, even by something as simplistic as a get well note here. Pay forward? May be your turn one day, and I (for one) will noy miss that day.

What else is also priceless here, is the dedication of a few who understand their priceless value. I am speaking of Dan (Mercman) and Mary (MM03MOK). Dan traveled over 500 miles one way to come to Chicago and stand by my side from Sun (Jun 5th) through my surgery (Jun 6th) and recovery (Jun 7th). He and Julie didn't budge until ROP (relieved on post) by Mary, who flew in from MA (2K miles one way) on Tues (evening of Jun 7th). Mary remained with me through my discharge (Jun 10), and at my side through the following Sunday (Jun 12). Both Mary and Dan left only because work beconed them to return home. Even Dominick showed up, armed with magazines and a real "get well" card, the young man grows old along with all of us.

Never before have I been so complimented by such a strong showing of friendship, and "the ties that bind" have been outlined for me. Where esle on our infamous "www" has this binding among friends shown it's face? Nowhere I know for sure. After 30+ years with the CPD as an LEO (and through many life threating injuries to boot), I had never experienced this level of friendship and dedication to each other as friends before. Never before. Thus...It's not just about a car. It's about us. And, the better we fine tune it, the better it will run.

My time is up, and I have not begun to express my thanks. Therefore, I'm at 312.401.1396, or, SergntMac@AOL.COM.

Y'all be safe, and remember to "pay it forward".

[Motorhead350]

Wow! Welcome back!

I'll see ya soon buddy.

Thanks for the kind words. ;)

[Da Dark Jedi]
