I just got off the phone with Jim's brother Andy. He said that Jim had just come out of surgery moments before my call. The injury to humerus bone
was more severe than first appeared and thats why the surgery was necessary. He said that Jim should be in a regular room by tomorrow and would begin physical therapy. I am planning on visiting sometime tomorrow to help raise his spirits. Its the least I can do considering just moments before the accident, Jim had just secured my kite so I could go back to my truck and deflate another kite I had left unattended. Jim ,like most kiteboarders I've met in this area, is always willing to lend a helping hand.
You probably will not be able to contact him on his cell phone but if anyone would like to visit him, he is at Bayfront Medical. Believe me when I tell ya, he's a tough guy and will be back
Heal quickly .....Chili!
