Jim's Guestbook

Jim, So glad to see you are looking so well! I bet you are glad to be home. I love the drawing of the train! Wishing you continued healing of your healthy heart.

Howdy Jim. The hardest thing going after surgery is that we have to have "Patience" with each day to day "adventure" until we get home and after as well. You are a guy who will probably find this not very easy but it is the best advice one can give to anther heart brother or sister as they continue on the recovery rode and into proper healing. If you have little patience(yes even in the "waiting "moments) you will only aggravate all of the muscles, entire chest wall that has been so thoroughly aggravated and it will take that much longer for you to begin the healing process. Frustration is unavoidable when you have gone through all of the things leading up to and including surgery but by being patient you have less a chance in adding to your recovery. Take care and by the way it is wonderful to have you back online and "visible" again!

Jim, We are all hoping and praying for your continued recovery. Remember first you crawl, then you walk and before long you can run-or climb. Listen to your knowledgeable doctors,your loving partner and your own body. You have many many years to enjoy life and inspire others. Happy days are coming your way! Loving hugs from Michigan. :-)

Hello there Jim and Dan. I know that you don't realize just how many people you touched with all of your kind words, informational posts and abundance of prayers before you headed in for surgery. Even afterwards you began again and my heart brother, as others are trying to tell you and I am chiming in: IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO CONCENTRATE THAT BRILLIANT, LOVING BRAIN AND HEART ON YOURSELF! All you and Dan should focus on is getting you out, making sure you keep as rested as possible, eat when your appetite allows you to and allow your body to tell you what it needs and when. Have faith in rehab. This recovery is a little more challenging for those who have unexpected turns in the road to wellness and we here at the community have been party to the type of character, strength and focus you possess and know that you have all that it requires to follow the Dr.'s orders and slowly, methodically let your body absorb any task put before you so that it can work towards that healing process you are beginning. We are all thinking of you with all of our "HEARTS". Take care Heart Brother. Be Well......Terrie

Jim, I hope each day forward is better for you. I'm sure once you get your strength back things will progress quicker. You've been through a lot and hope there are no more set backs.
