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!!

Thank you all so very much!!
Thank you all so very much for your prayers for Jim.
Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.
Lord, hear our prayers.
I have having chicken tonight, too - Stauffer’s frozen chicken pot pie. You see, I live by myself, I don't have a life, so I eat the quickest food I can find so I don't have to do anything but unwrap and micro.
To eat better, I would have to marry a man to make it worthwhile to cook - so send older single men my way if you want me to eat better. :o) :o)
Actually California is part of the USA, it’s on the west coast.
Sorry to confuse you. I only pinged you because you were the last post on the thread at the time.
I should have removed your screenname as I do mine when pinging from one of my posts because I confuse easily too.
I’m in Specific time, close to the Specific Ocean.
Central time is one hour earlier than Eastern Time.
I’m going to get my dinner in the oven. BRB
I don't have a problem going east, know “New York”, “Florida” time.
I have a problem with Gator113 ‘cause he is in Washington State and they aren't Specific Ocean time, are they? I guess he will get on here and tell us - isn't he Mountain Time whatever the hell that is. I never know his time.
Now, the Specific Ocean one of these days is going to get foreign country California in it when the “big one” dumps it in the Specific Ocean.
Another thing - I didn't know foreign country California changed the name Pacific Ocean to Specific Ocean - it figures, California doesn't do anything right. I know you live there so they must be holding you captive. :o)
I need to get out of this chair for a few minutes.
If we get an update, someone please call me!!! ;~)
So you're single?
I've heard that this is a good place to meet people. :)
Okey-doke!
Good luck Marcella! Send me the leftovers if you have any...and any extra food you made, too. ;)
“So you’re single?”

I’m so sorry. That must be devastating.

Move around! I have to stand up and move too.

So, you could use a husband, too?
Husbands are good for two things: carrying heavy boxes and killing spiders.
After getting all my groceries in the house yesterday, I appreciate men who can carry heavy groceries. A gallon of milk is just too heavy for a delicate, genteel person like me to carry.
I’m posting in this sort of silly manner to pass the time until we get news about Jim. NOW FOR THE SERIOUS STUFF:
ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE READING - SEND MONEY! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER AND YOUR MARRIAGE WILL BE BETTER AND YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT AND YOUR HAIR WILL ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD HAIR DAY AND YOU WILL BECOME WEALTHY BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS,
SEND MONEY!

Actually, there are four things. The third is, checking out strange noises downstairs at night.
