“On April 6th, my wife took me to the ER due to chest pains and difficulty breathing and I was subsequently diagnosed with Decompensated Combined Heart Failure and Sepsis Pneumonia. This resulted in a 15-day hospital stay to drain over 17 liters of excess fluid build-up in my lungs and to eliminate the pneumonia. I was once again hospitalized the first three days of June to make medication adjustments which will stabilize some ongoing symptoms. All this will be followed by several months of recovery to get back some semblance of a normal life.

I hope I will be able to get back on my bike at some time and join my friends in BCI. I miss you all." -- Mike
