Hi Penny,
Tell Jimmy congratulations! It sounds like he will recover quicker
than most people.
My exwife is a physical therapist. She always enjoyed working with the
people who truly wanted to get better. She used to say 70% of
rehabilitation is being willing to work at it.
Jimmy obviously is very motivated. <BG> Just make sure he doesn't
overdo it too much.
Keep us posted on his progress, and don't forget to *MAKE* a little
time for yourself. A small breather can help give you a big boost in
energy.
Happy fourth!
Matt in Norfolk, Virginia
