Update on Jimmy!

Dear Family & Friends,
Jimmy was able to sit in the hospital recliner for 4 hours today and is recovering nicely! He was able to get out of the bed very easily and by himself, he is still very strong even after the surgery.

Jackson Memorial has some of the best doctors in their field. The ICU staff is top notch and I am grateful. The rest of the hospital is very third world and makes for a hysterical sit-com. For instance, if you want any information on your loved one who may be admitted they do not have ANYONE you can ask - no information booth, no administration that I have been able to locate but they do have a cleaning lady on the 3rd floor named Laquida who will be happy to assist you on her break (seems she is always on a break) to locate your loved one for you. She will walk you directly to any department even if they are locked or have those large red signs DO NOT ENTER or QUARANTINE AREA - seems Laquida has the authority to go in any section of the hospital including all areas that are off limits. I can hook you up for a pack of cigarettes and Bud Light, and it's well worth it!

I will keep you posted on Jimmy and "Life at Jackson Memorial" - much love to ALL!

Donella
