Posting anything today seems like a big waste of time, for the reader as well as the writer, since it has been thoroughly uneventful. Jimmy feels better and better. We had a very unlaborious Labor Day, neither of us even bothering to get out of our pajamas. Jimmy watched Woods and Mickelson slug it out in whatever golf tournament they were playing, then watched Clemson slug FSU (FSU slugged back at the end, but not quite hard enough). I slept all day, probably making up for all the sleep I lost trying to sleep on that implement of torture in the hospital. Ever so often, I'd wake up enough to make my way to the kitchen, eat a big bowl of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream, then stagger back to bed. All in all, it wasn't a bad way to spend a Monday.

So glad to hear you are home and feeling better by the day. I know the power of prayer is working! That was a great golf tournament yesterday (that's how bored I was). After spending the weekend in LaGrange w/Grandson #1, I was spent. Ellen, you have a natural gift of writing - again thank you for sharing. You know to call if I can do anything for you all.

Jimmy- I have been talking to Tish, Livia and Theresa re: your treatment. It sounds like a corner has been turned. Dee and I are praying for your recovery. Stay strong. Ellen, although we have never met, I can sense your inner strength and commitment. Thank you for sharing with Jimmy's friends.
