It's going to be an epic awakening of your spirit and soul, being born to see, now, the colors and textures you couldn't before imagine. If you haven't yet, buy Virginia a big, mixed bouquet of fragrant flowers. For her, because of what she's done for you through all of this, and for YOU, so you'll now be able to fully appreciate the serrated edges of a carnation petal, along with the color, and spicy fragrance, getting the whole experience.<br /> Science/medicine.is a wondrous gift, not denied by those who think, and reason.. This morning I had my first injections of PRP in my right knee. In a month, PRP + stem cells. In another month, PRP. Each treatment is followed by a ten-minute, medical grade red-light therapy session. Ain't science great?? Neil and your doc would totally agree. Enjoy your new and improved sight, and the sights. šJudy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10351151556936269807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616769513702255459.post-71371389017817526672024-02-28T12:23:04.355-03:002024-02-28T12:23:04.355-03:00Thanks for reading it, Chris.

My friend Judy and I had dinner with him and Vicki and Bart Smith the night we arrived, then we went over the next day to his Rock Garden for a personal guided tour. He was just as lively and enthusiastic as ever, with always "one more story--that you're going to love!", as you said, and then the stories just kept coming. Jim is a medical phenomenon for sure. It's great to know that he is working on his framing project, which should keep him going for a good long while--hopefully until your return. <br />Best, Jack Kennedy Jack Kennedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616769513702255459.post-86664486612218534752023-11-23T10:25:20.997-03:002023-11-23T10:25:20.997-03:00A beautiful piece, Dan.

We all must go down that path at some point in our lives. I am happy he is making progress with organizing things in his home, for future use. To know Jim as a friend like you do is wonderful and I am so happy to read about your visits to Wapak and to see Jim. I do not know him even well enough even call him on the phone. What I do know is that Jim Bowsher is a very, very special person who has walked this earth and made a corner of his world very special.
