"Stand By Your Man"

"Stand By Your Man" may have to be the new Rotary motto. I have been so impressed by how many fellow Rotarians have been by to see Dad, sent cards, etc. Thank you Rotarians.
Dad is progressing, yet may have a small setback on the right leg. They did an MRI Friday to see if there was damage to the leg. They think there is either fluid on the leg or a tendon is trying to come loose.
Dad wants that IV unhooked pronto! He is ready to get to his lakehouse and rehab in Northwest Arkansas. He still needs to accomplish some things in Tulsa but, being an independant man he is getting tired of listening to orders, and asking for assistance. He has progressed to wearing workout clothes,....no more hospital gowns! Ha!
Please pray for strength, patience, endurance, and of course, progress.

Jackie, Jerry, and Timi

Jerry & Kay Brewer sent me the blog address & I certainly did appreciate it. I thank all of you for keeping us posted on the progress.
Over 12 years ago Jim was in ICU for a month with a liver transplant & then in rehab for a month. I became friends with the family of a pilot who had crashed his plane the day before Jim went into the hospital.
Chester, the pilot, broke every thing but his left arm. He now has retired, moved to the Hill Country of Texas & rides his motorcycle daily. I know it's a hard task, but all that rehab can be done and does pay off.
Gerald, you & Vicki are in my thoughts & prayers daily. If you can, keep a daily journal. List all of your visitors, callers, etc. & progress from a week ago.

Sincerely,
Susan Rieff
