Well folks,
I just had a pleasant surprise.
Jer just damn near talked my ear off for over half an hour...

He sounded real good.

Bill He remembers surfacing a few weeks ago to the sound of an anvil.  
Half his memory and half the fact that all the nurses tell him he  
perked up. But he thanks you profusely. And Dann, he loved the onions  
bit, humor is great therapy . Liz, HUGS and thanks for the video of  
You Nick and the Kids.
He is in physical and mental therapy now, and seemed to be doing  
really well. There were only a couple times where he had to go  
searching for words. (I should be so lucky) Still there is a way to  
go, but the current tests they gave him puts it at less than a  
month.  . . .  to discharge.  ( and here speaking of the medical  
system, he says that he can see the progress from one session to the  
next both physical and cognitive.  He is in no hurry to leave figuring  
that the more they can do to stimulate him, the better off he'll be. )
He has regained memories of the accident up to the tree starting  to  
crack on the felling cut. It was leaning pretty much along the edge of  
the drive and he had the notch cut  to drop it a couple feet into the  
drive, had a rope on it and tension on the rope from the truck. It   
had just started to talk, and released the saw which he was pulling  
out as he withdrew . . . .
and 2 and a half day . . . NOOOO Jer 2 and a half WEEKS later-Deb. . .  
yeah  2 and a half weeks later I woke up in this hotel with terrible  
food.

He says thanks to everybody!!!  All the sandboxers, and the forge  
folks, the iforgeiron folks and all the cards and all. They have  
really been a boost to his spirits. And thanks for all the prayers. We  
talked about his shop, the house and the dogs. About drawing out long  
tapers and how much he appreciated his power hammer. Reminisced about  
our experiences forging hot steel in high school shop.
Finally stopped talking when nature called and he handed the phone to  
Deb.

Thanks to you all! and Hugs from her too.
