Nadine and I were invited for an Italian dinner last Tuesday night by the race director of the ROCKY HILL TRIATHLON. He surprised us with a reunion of the First Responders who helped me after my heart attack. The photo includes myself, the race director, two lifeguards, the ER doctor and two EMTs. It was a happy and emotional time.

I'm now in Thessalonians reading through the New Testament. I'm also enjoying my return to the Wednesday morning Bible study with men who have met for about 30 years.

This is the third week of Cardiac Rehab. They are slowly adding more weight on my circuit training and more time and speed on the stationary bike and treadmill. I'm responding favorably!

I enjoyed returning to substitute teaching in fifth grade classrooms last week. I'm scheduled for first second, and third grades in the next two weeks. There was a warm welcome from both schools.

Nadine and I drove to Clovis this morning for my seventh week post op check up with my surgeon. I was told I am doing exceptionally well. My chest is healing great and my vitals are really good. I'm now allowed to gently resume biking and swimming and to lift up to 20 pounds. Praise the Lord!

Thanks again for your support.

Jim
