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.
Thank you very much, Psalm 73. God bless.
Jim, I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. Words and prayers are all I can offer from so far away and words are inadequate, but prayer is powerful. You are always in my prayers. Thank you for the update. I will keep Chris in my prayers also. He’s a good son.
Keep fighting.
Thank you very much, djstex. God bless.
Godspeed!
I think hiring a home health aide is a wonderful idea!
Thank you very much, jimjohn. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much, odawg. And God bless you.
Prayers up, Jim. You’re in ours every day.
Continuing prayers for strength and perseverance. Hoping you find a fabulous live-in caregiver very soon. May God continue to bless you.
God bless you, sir. I will pray for your full recovery.
Sorry to hear about your continued health issues, but you determination is inspiring. God bless you all.
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏 UP!!!
Mr. Robinson, you are one of the few individuals I still highly respect. It has been a privilege to be allowed on Free Republic, a co-activist with FR, and a friend ... even with our past differences. You are one of the best men I've known and will help in anyway I can.

They are Tens machines. They used them on my husband's arm when he had a stroke.
Will be praying for you Jim.
No problem, and spread the word around here.
I pray for you every day, Jim.
OH Jim, so sorry to hear all this.
You are our living angel, helping us get through all these unbelievable times.
My sincerest Prayers for you both.
My heart goes out to you and to your dedicated and loving son.
Granddaughter has been telling me what success they are having with PRP for pain for patients, she is an almost Dr. of natural health, just a few more months.
If you have a lot of pain, maybe this could help you.
