    We are still in touch with Jim, although its not as often as we'd like, so the information is a bit disjointed.

    Anyway, since Jim's protracted stay in hospital after surgery things haven't been too good for him.  He's still fighting but it seems he's having a tough time of things with some infections.  Understandably he's a bit down about it and it seems to us, from the information we have, that Jim…

    Jim's wife rang yesterday morning.  He's had some more problems that are keeping him in hospital still.  It sounds like its the same thing Mike had a while after he was discharged.  It might be rather fortuitous for Jim that this has happened while he is still in hospital, so they can fix him up before he goes home.  He's able to walk around OK using a stick and all of the hardware had been detatched from him too…

    The surgeon himself came out to the waiting area, to call us in to his consulting room this afternoon…

    Mike just spoke to Jim's wife.  He had the op on Monday and all went well.  He's been talking to his wife and apparently he's quite chirpy.  He must e doing OK I guess to be chirpy the day after such an operation.  They tried to get him out of bed into a chair today but he's still a bit weak and wobbly.  I'm amazed they even tried so soon after such extensive surgery so again, he must be doing well.  Lets…
