Thanks so very much. It is nice to know it is forwarded. It sounds like the PO Box is the way to go now.
You probably read about the problems at Walter Reed, but it really was noticed by those of us who found our mail in sacks, “forgotten” in a back room...by a volunteer, I believe. It was a huge amount of mail in the early days and inadequate staff to deal with it. All fixed now, I think.
Thanks for the uplifting update, MB. Glad you and JK were able to drive up to see “the boss”.
Great collage to remind us of what the VA is all about.
How nice to read your report of your visit with Jim.
I am sure he appreciated it and we all thank you for doing what we, because of distance, can not do.
Your pictures are great too.
:^D
I told Jim that the moderators are flipping coins to determine who should be banned.
. . . Amy must’ve come up tails!
And what happens when you post the boss’ age for all to see.
Wonderful news, thank you for the update Mama Bear.
Continued prayers and get well wishes for Jim!
Correct, JustAmy, see you haven't lost it!
Thank you for the wonderful update! Praying that Jim is healed and able to get the rest he needs. God bless him, his family and his dedicated caretakers.
Mama Bear,
I’m a frequent reader & rare poster. I very much appreciate what Jim started here and the many Freepers who make this site what it is and keep the info flowing.
I’ve been checking in periodically to check on Jim and truly appreciate the updates you and the others have been posting.
Please give him my best and let him know he’s in my prayers. I look forward to hearing he’s home.

JustAmy, Fiddlstix, Syncro, Mama_Bear - Thank you all for the updates. I haven't posted much to the thread, but I check in several times a day to follow Jim's progress. It's good to hear he's feeling so much better and will be going home soon!
For the guys on the Ann Coulter list...eat your heart out! Jim got roses from Ann! :)
Phillipians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Thanks for the update and great pictures! So happy to hear that Jim is doing so well!
Beautiful post! Thanks for the update. So glad everything is going well. I, like everybody, am looking forward to Jim getting back home and making his presence known!
Not only can they do wonders with prostheses these days, but many people are able to do things they could not do before when they get a prosthesis.
There is no indication that there is anything wrong with Jim's upper leg and hip.
Thanks Nan for your positive outlook!
Praise God..Such good news! What a wonderful, beautiful report, Mama Bear.I am so thankful for “no pain” and a twinkle in his eyes...and out of bed...outstanding!
Prayers for healing, recovery ...and patience continue.
I delivered a Chef's Salad to Jim early this evening, and he appreciated it.
As he has turned into dainty eater lately, I brought him a small one.
It was purchased by jkphoto from a restaurant in Fresno
Thank you for the nice thoughtful idea!
Sorry...To: fanfanYes ... I’m going to see him tomorrow. I will ask him if he is ready for his salad.
I told him you are going to buy him a salad.
To: JustAmyThat’s so cool.
Thanks Amy.
I’m glad you got your computer fixed.
*HUG*
Thanks for the update, Mama_Bear. I’m glad to hear Jim has no pain and is improving. The power of prayer is great.
My monitor keeps fogging up too. I’ve been praying hard, and taking great comfort in the updates that suggest JR is in good spirits and recovering nicely. JR, you are an inspiration.
