I thought I would take this opportunity on this thread to post links to all the videos we have made of my progress over the last few weeks. As a sort of update.

Rehab is coming along well, but it is painstakingly slow...and in many cases, vey painful and very tiring...but that is what it takes to come back after so much surgery and cutting of muscles and tendons, and after so many weeks in bed flat on your back.

Anyhow, here are those videos, all on facebook, but all should be visible to evryone, even if yo do not have a facebook account:

At this point, it looks like the last week of August or first weeks of Spetember before we drive home...and (PTL) it looks like at that point I will be far enough along so we can just use my truck...another answer to prayer among literally hundreds.

I attribute it to a loving Savior, who for His purposs chose to have me remain here on this earth for a bit longer, and to a loving, angelic wife of 32 years who has supported and literally nnursed me through this...and to hundreds, perhaps thousands of faithful people, friends in Christ and in faith, who have prayed for us, encouraged us, and helped us through...no small number of which are represented by my FR family of over 12 years.

God bless you all, may His blessings be multiplied many time over back to you in kind.

A drive-by prayer bump and a Massive Thank You to God in Heaven for his continuing to work miracles here below, most clearly in your life, brother Jeff, as shown by the progress you've made. Yes, progress is slow, but each day you're one step closer to achieving complete recovery. Hang in there!

And major Thanks for posting this update!

Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Jeff

Continued prayers that all goes according to plan and you can, indeed, drive our truck home! You have come so far...it's amazing!

Well...just look at you! You are progressing very nicely! One thing I’ve noticed is that, since the first video, you’re beefing up, and that’s a good thing. You’re looking so great!

Thank you both for the pings. I wouldn’t miss watching this for the world! You are such an inspiration! One thing that I can’t wait for is the trip home. I know you’re with me on this one, Jeff. ;o)

Many, many ((((((hugs))))), my special FRiend, JH2! You da’ man!
