Change in plans! The surgeon cancelled his trip. All tests are go.
Surgery is now planned for tomorrow morning.
Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room.
The chaplain stopped in for another prayer. Looks like we’re ready to go.
Pulse rate coming down. Prayers up!

PRAISE GOD!
Thank you, Lord!
God bless you, dearest Jim!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, and please continue praying!
Surgery for Jim tomorrow morning. We'll let y'all know as soon as Jim lets us know!
Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 5 New Monthly Donors, including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.
Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge with my $100 donation to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!
It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.
If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign got off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 3 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck and "somebody", for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All three FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"
Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!
In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can spend as much time as he needs to recover after his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim in his own room tonight, we might see him here again too!
We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away. Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Yup. See you later!
Be well, Jim. I’ll never be able to thank you for the years I’ve had on here, even if I meet you at a future rally in DC or elsewhere, and buy you a beer if you drink.
Prayers up! Godspeed, Jim.
4 little ones keeping Jim in their prayers.

Prayers continue and my check for $150.00 will mail today. I forgot to send the extra 50.00 last time so I will include it today. My CRS is getting terribly bad! ;-)

Adding my prayers this morning to all those for a successful surgery and complete recovery, we’re all with you in spirit Jim... Blessings, HK
You betcha!
Good morning Jim. You’re up awfully early. Hope you get some decent food this morning. I’d love to be able to sneak a stack of pancakes in to you from IHOP!
I’ve been praying hard that all the issues (hydration, heart, magnesium) are resolved and that everything proceeds smoothly according to God’s plan.
You’re the man Jim! Can’t wait for you to be back full bore, poking a stick in the eye of liberalism.
Thank you very much, deoetdoctrinae and all! Unfortunately, no breakfast this morning. God bless.
Geez, I don’t know...I often ask myself when I have a cold or something like a knee replacement or a bad rash, what would have happened a century ago when medicine was more primitive? I have a specific reason for this: in college (UCLA) I worked in an ice cream parlor part time, slipped, fell and dislocated my knee cap (ouch). After that, with weight gain over the years, etc., it just deteriorated plus added extra stress to the other knee (I’m getting that one done next spring). It’s at the point where I just can’t walk well anymore and the only solution is surgery. There are different “levels” of surgery so my ortho will go in hoping to just re-surface but may have to totally replace. Wish I could say it was from being a jock (I did work out a lot when I was in the Navy) but it’s from injury and weight gain (though I’ve lost some of the weight this year to make the recovery easier).
Would be happy to let you know how it goes if you’re interested...thanks for asking!
What time is surgery?
