A Prayer for a Friend

[Celeste 341]

Our friend and colleague Jim Foley is going to surgery tomorrow.

I'm putting this on the other boards as well: On Thursday am I would like to ask if everyone who reads this will stop whatever they're doing at 9:00 am and say a prayer for Jim Foley. I know prayers can do wonderful things and if we all do it at once, it has to be that much stronger.

Thanks,

Celeste

I put this in the Wood Care thread because that's why we know Jim. To put something as serious as this in the Club House just didn't feel right.

We will be praying for him as well.

Celeste what is Jim Foley in the hopital for? I will pray for him also! Hugh

[Celeste 341]

Not certain, Hugh. He mentioned on another bbs that he has had multiple health issues and that he was facing surgery today. I just know he has a family (and a bird I guess :)) I also know that lots of prayers can't hurt and he has been a treasure to all of us on all of the forums :)

Have our prayers been helping? Any word on how Diamond Jim is?

Thanks for your prayer's !! I am home and recovering. The surgery went well. I had open Heart to repair a leaky valve that would of caused congested heart failure.This was a congenital problem found in Nov.. Recovery will be slow but I'm very lucky I found out.

Way to go Jim. Did you find out if the surgeon had any decks on his house!! LOL

Best of luck to you. We are all happy the surgery went well

Great to see you back Diamond!! So what did the doctor do?? Open you up and brush a little WoodTux around that leaky valve to create a film and give it a nice, tight, seal??:)LOL (JUST KIDDING!!!!! Please no infractions!!) Did you try that move I was telling you about with the nurses.......the "oops, I accidently put my gown on backwards" trick??:) Sure is good news that you are well!!

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Jon,

Sikkens would create a better film than Wood Tux. I'm sure the surgeon knew better and used that instead. ;)

Jim, we are glad to see you back. You have been in our prayers!

It is great to HAvE Jim back and the doc put him back together stronger faster!! ;)

I talked to Jim earlier today and he sounded good and very upbeat but just needs REST! PLEASE just don't make him laugh cause his chest hurts!

Hey Jim just try to keep that Jack Russell killer attack dog from bouncing off your chest!! :D

[James 624]

Jeff , I 'm pretty sure you can make a living just off Hospital personnel.

Diamond Jim--I hope you have a speedy recovery. The wood restoration work In Connecticut will be calling you when the summer breeze sets in from the LI sound saying "Jim Jim" Ok that'll be me yelling across the sound since I live near it and your a few miles North of it on the other side:)
