Update on Jim Robinson's health issues

Posted on 10/30/2023 10:11:14 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Spent the entire month of June in the va hospital. Again (second year in a row). And then 4 1/2 months in a skilled nursing rehab facility. Solved some of the medical issues but I'm still under the weather. Arms and hands still extremely weak. Still in bed for most of my time. Still can't sit in my powerchair very long. Still can't feed myself, etc. Still can't type. Still using voice recognition software to enter posts, etc. Very slow.

Our big problem right now is Chris is overwhelmed and stressed out. We're now looking for a full-time, live-in 24/7 caregiver. We can offer a salary plus room and board to the right person.

So basically, I've been in bed now for a year and a half And I've lost most of my strength. It's gonna take a lot of therapy To get me back on my feet. Still praying for miracles.

Thank you all very much for your continuing prayers and support. God bless.

Inflatible vest. Pump helium into it. You’ll be up in no time.

Bless you.

Or perhaps anabolic steroids (what bodybuilders use). They were originally developed to assist people who were very debilitated get some of their strength back. Just a thought.

Prayers for you and your family, Jim.

You have certainly earned your creds as a fighter and can stand as a role model for those who think they are having difficulties.

In addition, and in terms of significance, the FR you have built has touched and will continue to touch the lives of many of your fellow patriots in a way that is comparable to Hoover Dam.

I would close with "hand in there", but you are obviously doing that very well.

Standard ol’ Head and Shoulders shampoo, can help aleviate skin sores - depending upon your circumstances. Works for some people who do not get an opportunity to “shower and shave” regularly.

Other tip: I learned long ago, that when bedridden, it helps to figure out how to do 10 minutes of exercise per hour, during an 8 hour period of the day.

I worked my way up to that, and then did more. I made a point of using a padded workout table top, where I basically camped out for the day hours. Better place to exercise, nap, clean - rinse and repeat.

So, there was workout table time of the day, and a bed time of the day.

I was going to write some time ago, but I figured, you probably know all this. Anyway, bless you for staying in the fight.
