Jim Thompson

Don't know if you all heard, but Jim had problems with a knee replacement. After Middletown, it got infected and the joint had to be removed. He went for a month or so with daily IV antibiotics, and no knee joint. I talked to him last week. They are reinstalling the knee joint today, IIRC. If anyone hears how it goes, please update everyone. I know we all wish him a speedy recovery. David J.

No feedback on my end either, but just heard that the operation is completed.

I spoke with Jim this morning. He is doing well, in good spirits, but will need some time to recover fully.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Jim!

As you move into physical therapy here's some rules to live by that were given to me once:
The Ten "Nevers"
ln Physical Therapy

l. Never say you can't
because you'll do it anyway.
2, Never say it's easy, because we'll make it harder.
3. Never say, I want to go home, because you'll just stay longer.
4. Never lose count because You'll have to start at one again.
5. Never complain because we never listen.
6. Never argue because you'll never win.
7. Never scream or cry because it only encourages us.
8. Never look like you're enjoying it because we'll put a stop to that.
9, Never hold your breath because if you pass out we'll still be there when you come to and you'll have to start again.
10. Never lie or cheat because we know the truth and you'll live to regret lt.
