Prayers for Jim Robinson
May 14, 2008
Posted on 05/14/2008 5:16:40 PM PDT by trussell
Prayer Request Jim Robinson is having surgery tomorrow, May 15th See the posts below for information about this procedure. Jim Update:
It has been a frustrating day, I finally have a update for everyone.
I called Jim at the hospital. The nurse was in his room and gave him the phone. Sheila took his cell phone to him so I will be able to contact him easier. Also they took his laptop.
Due to major pain killers, he was able to sleep in the bed last night and was in bed when I called.
He sounded better than he has for the past few months. He will be there for at least one more night; maybe more depending on decisions being made tonight.
They may remove Jim's left leg at the knee tomorrow. The docs have told him that the poison in that leg is going to continue causing problems.
Jim is really reluctant to let them remove the leg but I told him that if it will relieve the pain and stop all the damage it is doing to his internal organs, he should let them take it. Jim cannot use his legs now. He only has limited use of his right leg and no muscle remains in his left leg. The muscular dystrophy has done a number on his muscles while he has been ill.
I hope this makes sense.
When I hear what the decision is, I will let you know. In the meantime, Jim needs our prayers tonight and tomorrow.
Father, hear our prayers. 930 posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 8:55:24 PM by JustAmy*********************************
Thanks for all the updates, Amy I just talked to Chris and he said that Notpoliticallycorewrecked is visiting with Jim at this time. He also said that the Doctors have decided that tomorrow Jim has to make the decision about his leg The Doctors believe, as you stated, that it has to be removed to keep the infection from spreading. So I imagine that is the decision he will make. Don't worry about him getting online, he has an air card so he can get online anywhere. He misses being able to read and post here tremendously naturally. This is his baby. Good news that the swelling has gone down dramatically in his left leg and that for the first time in months he is not in pain 24 hrs a day and was able to sleep more than usual. Chris had no idea how long he would be hospitalized, but I would imagine it will be several more days, especially if the operation on his leg is done soon. Good advice you gave Jim, Amy. Yes, Mama Bear don't hesitate to visit, it will be highly appreciated and encouraging to see such good friends as you and that jk I'm sure Jim is blessed indeed to have family that are watching over him closely and taking care of his needs, getting him to the hospital and other numerous tasks And the legion here that are pulling for him.

**************************************** Today's short update:
I just talked to Jim; the surgery will be performed tomorrow. He doesn't know what time yet. He said he is feeling pretty good. Also, he slept off and on last night. May have been due to the stress.
I am going to try to see him this afternoon. He has some tests scheduled but he doesn't think they will take very long.
He is not allowed to have his laptop in the patient area so he cannot get online until he can get down to the lobby.
His words ..... "Please tell everyone how much I appreciate their thoughts and prayers. Oh Yeah ..... tell them I'll be back online as soon as I'm able.
Anyway, thank you for your prayers.

Jeez, Syncro, I thought that the salad was for you. Had I known it was for Jim I wouldn't have been so cheep and I would have sprung for the deluxe salad!
Mama_Bear and I sure hope he enjoyed it. Jim sure surprised me by how good he looked.
Enjoyed dinner with you and Dr. Zoo!

I told Jim today I was going to post that picture on this thread.
Technically it isn't "open source", it is a picture from The Institute of Phenomonology and was originally posted on This Thread where you can also see other pictures of Jim with Ann Coulter such as this one:
That was my second favorite picture taken by Dr. Zoo that day, my first favorite can be found at This Post
I won't post the picture here 'cause this thread is about Da Man, not me...
To: Mama_Bear
Thanks for posting this good news update, Mama B.
All the best to you, Jim.

Great report and pictures, Mama Bear.
It was fantastic to see you and that man you live with today, and to have dinner with the two of you!
It's a pleasure to see Jim getting back to his old self. He's doing GRATE!
Oh and jk, I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread, but thanks for the comment about the salad...

THAT IS A WONDERFUL HOPE!
I really know very little about MD and specifically how it has affected Jim.
I am so happy many of Jims’s Family & FReeper Family have been able to be there to support Jim, and you are part of that support/friendship circle.
Thanks Syncro.

your (JKs?) pix are wonderful Lori.. so glad you got to have dinner with friend Syncro & visit with Jim... the flowers are really attractive & the shots of the VA facility are really appreciated.

Did you take Chachi along to visit Jim? It would love to see pix of Jim & Chachi if you did

oh I forgot to mention my one prior post seemed negative because of my error..
NO was to be NOW..
I wish we had an edit button as part of this software..
there are good things to having it but also bad things as folks can change prior posts to serve their purpose in debate.. NOT always for correcting, like for me in haste missing grammar or spelling errors

1878. Apparently Jim now has "twinkles" in his eyes and I guess those will have to be removed sometime soon too.
