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.

By the way, one of the nurses at the va said she had a sister Who was looking for work and would be willing to be a live in caregiver. She came and worked for us for one day. I need to be turned every few hours and it turns out that she was too light to turn me. She tried and tried but she just couldn’t get me turned over. I weigh about 155 pounds and she was a very slight 57 year old Lady. Too bad. She seemed like a very conscientious worker.

Too bad. Could you get a Hoyer lift, maybe? I’m not sure if one person or two is required to operate those? I wish I lived closer to you. I could not lift you, but I so enjoyed caring for my dad’s physical and companionship needs while he was still with us. Some folks just like doing it; I’m one of those. Unfortunately I have handicaps of my own now. These years require courage and good humor, for sure!
