Howdy everyone! My new cutoffs are just the right length. No more skin on vinyl. The visit with the surgeon went well. Everything looks great! Also had a visit from the home nurse today. All my vitals are in normal ranges. Blood pressure, heart, lungs, all good, blood sugar at 96. The surgeon approved a request made by my physical therapist for more therapy, a new gel insert for a hospital bed, and a tryout for a new prosthesis.
I get a new leg!! Woo hoo!!
Thank you all again for your prayers and support! We are making headway!
God bless,
Jim
Oh Jim....I know I speak for everyone on this ping list...I am SO VERY happy to read this.
Thank you Lord, for all you’re doing in this man’s life. Thank you for his loving family. Thank you for giving Jim a new start in his life, in so many ways.
Your Name Be Praised!
Amen
Praise the Lord!
Your indomitable spirit is just amazing!
God give you what you need and let His will be done in
all things!
Prayers for continued healing.
Congrats on the new leg..
Mighty happy to see you posting again.
There was video of him on TV the other night pursuing a perp ON FOOT and catching him! Perp said the worst part was that he would lose all "respect" in his 'hood because he had been outrun by a one-legged Deputy!
Better days ahead!
Good to have you back sir...may all go well for you!
WOW JIM!
What a great way to end my day...thanking our Lord for your life, your health and a new leg!
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family!
We are thankful for you and for FR.

I am so glad I checked for a report tonight before turning in. You seem so pleased with your own progress that it must be very good.
JIM, It sounds wonderful to think of a replacement leg.
As you know I have only one “good “ foot so I can’t offer to be a donor. LOL Really now, they have done wonders in the development of these “bionic” limbs.
Maybe you will become our new 5 million dollar man! Headway indeed!
great news Jim.
most people say “baby steps” but it appears there are giant steps here.

Know this: You'll continue to be in my daily prayers until you fully recover. God bless you, Jim! Hang in there!
Great news Jim!
Hi Jim,
What a thoroughly good report.
I’m very happy for you.
Blessings,
Joya
Pinging you to update at post #581
Sounds very good. The Hillary meltdown probably has lifted your spirits, it has mine. Have a great holiday weekend!
Great news Jim!!
Thanking God for your good news...May the Lord be with you, continue to heal and strengthen you.
Praise the Lord!
That is terrific news Jim!
I know all too well that ‘skin on vinyl’ sensation, my Grandparents used to have a ‘63 Plymouth Fury and they put those old clear plastic/vinyl seat covers on front and back, and not only would you stick to them, but in the summer you could literally get ‘azzburn’ without even being in the sun.
Ouch.
GREAT news on your vitals, that strongly suggests that your system is bouncing back and ‘adapting’ in a good way, depending on how your circulation is doing, you might ask your doc about some stuff called ‘Goji Juice’, it’s great for circulation and a whole bunch of other things, doesn’t taste half bad either!
Have a great weekend Jim!
MKJ :)
What a trooper!! God is great. Keep up the good work. Bless you and family.
You know what? The main thing I am grateful to God for is that the infection is gone.
And now you’re home, you’re feeling better, your health has greatly improved, you’re looking at a new leg, loving friends and family surround you.
Jim, I could not be happier for you. Prayers continue, for everything you need at this time, for peace, comfort, and joy.
