   Summary

   Mike used to be in the Army before he ran into Harvey. He doesn’t like talking about what he saw back then or the injuries he suffered. However, when they prevent him from getting up, Harvey steps in and helps him, not only with the pain, but also in getting better accessibility at work.

   AKA I give Mike chronic pain, cane swag and shit on the US Military and healthcare system for 13k words.
