Jim is still in the hospital.....This is day 34.

and hoping to be released to a rehab center by the end of the week. This time, God willing, it will be to an in-hospital rehab, such as UNC. It is much closer to our home and we hope it will be just what he needs to get walking again, and if he has a problem, he is where he needs to be to get the correct care.  

Let this be a lesson to those of you who are too sedentary for your own good:  

when you sit in a chair all day and don't get your body moving (get your heart-rate up), you do damage to every organ and system in your body.  It may take a while for the damage to show up - but it will. Your GI tract doesn't work as well as it ought to, your muscles contract and your joints freeze somewhat.  I know there are other signs and symptoms of body dis-use, but I don't know all of them. 

The old saying "If you don't use it - you lose it" is true!
