Editors note: Jim called me yesterday that he had been to the Doctor and his blood pressure was 258/150. They were sending him to the VA Hospital. **Update** Of course, Jim refused to stay in the hospital overnight because Muskogee had no beds and they wanted to send him to OKC. Jim sent me an email that his blood pressure was down to 169/94. He realized how bad he was when the hospital called this morning to check on him. Lets all keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
