I'm happy to say that we have come to the hospital end of Jim's journey.  We will now be entering the home stages of recovery.  He is coming home on Wednesday the 23rd and both Jim and I couldn't be happier.  Praise God that Jim has come this far. If it hadn't been for this surgeon at Sanford Jim would still bein the back bedroom in the same condition as he was 6 months ago. Our Lord knew that this pannus had to be removed to save his live.
