rmaynard 16,289 #28 Posted December 14, 2022 Just a couple of questions. Do you not have any health insurance? Are you a Veteran? Have you checked the VA? Have you looked into Medicaid? Many communities have local healthcare access for the uninsured and under-insured. Wishing you the best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourwheels0 191 #29 Posted December 15, 2022 Rmaynard no I'm not a vet. I have medicare/Medicaid and they will not do anymore then they have already. I'm about to go back and try for foodstamps even though they insulted me with a 7 dollar a month offer last time. Desperate times call for desperate measures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,289 #30 Posted December 15, 2022 You need to find a health care advocate in your area. A health care advocate helps patients communicate with providers to get information they need to make decisions about their health care. Advocates may also help patients set up appointments for doctor visits and medical tests and get financial help. Contact your local hospital or health department. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fourwheels0 191 #39 Posted February 13, 2023 Update Definitely had a stroke. Do better with mobility but not back to normal. Still need help with finances. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourwheels0 191 #40 Posted March 29, 2023 Well therapy has helped but the damage is done. Leg isn't too bad but my arm is still messed up. As far as the tumors go that's all getting put on hold until it's a serious health issue. Been trying everything with the doctors but not getting anywhere. Right now all my energy is going into trying to make it month to month with food ect. I'd like to thank everyone that has donated. It has meant a lot.

rmaynard 16,289 #41 Posted August 18, 2024 I'm just curious to know what your status is Mike. Last post was March 2023. Sometimes things like this get lost in the shuffle. If you are able, please let us know how things are. I don't want you to think that the Wheel Horse family has forgotten you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,553 #42 Posted August 18, 2024 Just to post, Mike passed away last year in July of 2023. He apparently has a serious heart attack. Me and Mike met around 2011 and hung around these years since we lived in the same location. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May he have the peace that seemed to elude him in life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,035 #44 Posted August 18, 2024 Very sad news! I remember Mike from meeting and talking with him many times at the Big Show. It was always a pleasure! Rest in Peace my friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,289 #45 Posted August 19, 2024 Yes, thanks for the update. I too used to talk with him at the big show. Always sad to hear that kind of news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 12,040 #46 Posted August 19, 2024 Sad that at a moment of distress and great need at the end of his life he had no one to turn to that would care and have some compassion for his condition. Family, friends, community, country? Sad that one in this country has to go through that not even being able to keep one’s dignity. Something terribly wrong with this.

sjoemie himself 3,099 #47 Posted August 23, 2024 Sad to read this but thank you for the update @oldredrider I messaged Mike mike a few times and his replies indeed seemed very desperate sadly. I hope the help and meds he did get alleviated his pain and suffering. Hope he's in a better place now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
