    Had a good talk with Jim tonight, he is doing better. I plan on going up to the hospital to see him tomorrow. He should be out in a couple weeks.
    He has some therapy ahead, and getting back to 100% is going to be a while... But he'll get there. I know he appreciates the thoughts and prayers, please keep them coming guys. I let him know you all are thinking of and pulling for him.

    A couple of weeks in the hospital that's not good.
    So what happened to him? what are his injuries?

    He took a fall in the backyard. He will be staying a couple weeks for therapy, but he is on the mend.

    Send him pictures of chainsaws, trees, splits, and more chainsaws. People respond best to positive motivation:dex:

    Jim is a world class man. Always positive and smiling. I hosted a small gtg. While the wolves were feeding, him and I chatted about our pets. Good times! Get well Jim!!!

    Just saw this thread, sorry to hear he's in rough shape. My thoughts are with him. Jim is an extremely nice man and is a pleasure to speak with at gtg's.

    Get well soon Jim!!!

    This is probably the best prayer or response I have seen on a forum period. As a less articulate person , I will echo this prayer as I keep w8ye in my prayers.


    Excellent prayer eric.

    Jim is back at home now, they let him out a couple days ago. He isn't 100% yet, but glad to be home. I should see him in the next few days. Ill let him know the FHC community is pulling for him.

    Heck of a bunch of guys here, thank you for all the thoughts and prayers.

    Glad he's home. Must have really bumped himself up pretty good. We're rooting for him! Thanks for the update!

    Just seen this... And feel bad for not checking in on new posts in awhile.

    Jim is a man among men. I always love talking to him at the GTG's. Great guy and a great sense of humor.

    Thoughts and prayers go out for a fast recovery!!

    You are a good man for bringing him to the GTG's Carbine.
