Hoo boy! It sure is good to be home!
I don't know exactly what hit me, but I was hit hard. The last thing I remember is I was in a lot of pain from my pressure sore, then Chris put me to bed. The next thing I remember, I woke up in the hospital, a week later. I was in a dream world for several days. Kept coming in and out of the same bad dream. I didn't eat or sleep for a week, then they finally got me to eat and drink liquids. They later told Chris that I was in severe delirium. After about 3 weeks, my mind started coming back.
The main problem I had before going into the hospital were my two pressure sores, I was taking Advil by the handful. In the hospital, they told me I had intestinal blockage, which led to abdominal distension. After getting my mind back, I began eating, sleeping, and generally feeling better. The worst problem was that my pressure sore on the left thigh had deepened close to the bone. When I first went into the short-term rehab four weeks ago, the sore was 4 cm deep, but today it is only 1 cm deep. And the pressore sore on the other thigh has completely healed! So the good news now, is that it's healing!
They kept me in bed flat on my back, with a pillow under my left stump to keep the pressure sore off of the mattress. Bad news is while flat on my back, I'm totally helpless. Can't use my hands to type, can't even read on the computer. I'm under doctor's orders to remain in bed for another three weeks or so, until the pressure sore heals.
Another good thing that came out of this is proof, that John and Chris definitely can keep FR running when/if ever something were to happen to me. At any rate, I hope to be up and posting again as soon as I can - hopefully three weeks.
Thank you all very much for your thoughts, prayers and continued support!!
God bless,

Welcome back Jim Rob. We were all very concerned and worried we would lose you. Your work is not finished, my brother. Also much thanks to Chris and all that cared for you in and out of the hospital. Take care my friend and go kick some liberal progressive butt!

Praise God and thank you Jesus!! Best news I’ve heard in a while!! We all love you, Jim. So many prayers sent on your behalf, and even if it took a little while you are back home and mending. Praise God.
Welcome back!
Looking forward to you directly posting.
Last time I was in the hospital (exploded pancreas) they had me on morphine, I pretty much hallucinated the whole time. It’s nothing to worry about...
God is good.

You’re needed more now than ever with the mid-terms coming up and Democrats going crazy to try to stop Trump.
I knew all those prayers would work!!
Knew you would win the battle. The LORD heard all the prayers those here, like myself, who believe in our LORD Jesus Christ, fired off prayer after prayer for the LORD to bring you home. Continue to Hang Tough!! Stay strong dude.
You’ve still got them! Keep fighting The Good Fight. We need you! :)
Wow! What a trip! The worst is well behind you, so you can certainly handle a bit more time out of full commission - especially when you can handle it at your own home. Such good news!
Take care!!!!
I am so sorry that you have been having such a rough go of it. It sounds terrible. We look forward to having you back to normal . God bless you
Wonderful.
