Oh hey, does Jim have arthritis? Just wondering. Of course, I’d be super cranky too if I was made to run on a treadmill the day after waking up. I feel Jim’s pain.
Larissa and Pam continue to be golden. I love their growing ease with each other and how quickly they can gang up on Jim for the greater good - like getting him to cooperate.
Can’t wait for the next one!

I'm not sure. I'll have to check...
Thanks! I continue to be concerned Larissa is coming off weird, so this is good to hear.

YAS Pam, lay down the law, sister! I loved that. Also, I can’t wait to see Helene meet Jim! We were robbed of that in the show, for sure. I have no doubt you will do it justice!
Author's Response: Thank you for your faith in me! Pam is in a weird place, I think, so I have her sometimes being assertive and sometimes not--this seemed like a good spot for assertive!Pam.

Speaking as a paramedic who's wife is a physical therapist it's a tiny stretch for me to think Jim would be up and running so soon. Speaking as a reader, that was fun to see Jim make sure everyone know he most assuredly does not have arthritis as well as Pam's threat. Good fun all around.
Author's Response: Thanks! Does it help if I tell you that I am actually trying to depict bad practices on the part of the physical therapist/hospital here? I definitely know Jim shouldn't be doing that now and probably wouldn't even be really capable of it, but I wanted them to make him try (in order to reveal the broken leg and get the arthritis bit in).
