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.
Will pray Jim.
Just a question, has your doc or anyone suggested electronic muscle stimulation as part of your therapy for regaining strength and muscle mass?
God Bless you too Jim, continuous prayers for your strengthening health.
Proud of you both. Hang in there.
Our Prayers will get More often, We need you and Family So Will be Praying for all. We appreciate all of you and what you have done and Will continue to do for America.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the update Jim.
I’m sorry to hear you are going through this level of
difficulty. I wouldn’t wish this on an enemy, and for
one of my friends to be going through this causes me
a lot of reflection.
Can’t tell you how much I wish you were not having to
go through this.
My prayers will include you.
I apologize for dropping out of the loop and not quite
realizing what you were going through.
Every good thought and wish are extended to you.
Will keep you and your family in our thouggts and prayers.
I will pray for you.
Do you ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you are a brown pair of shoes?
Keep swinging Mr. FR.
Prayers for you and your loving son.
I live in NY and having live in help can be covered by Medicare. Check out your coverage. I don’t know if it’s different where you live.
Always hoping for the best for you. And there has to be someone out there that would be good for helping you out.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I pray for mercy for Jim. I pray healing to every part of his body, and health to his soul. Encourage him, LORD, I pray. healing for him body, soul and spirit, according to Your Word, “By His stripes, we are healed”, “ Healing is the children’s bread”, and “Beloved, I would above all things, that ye prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers”. I pray for just the right person be found to assist Chris with his care. In Jesus Holy Name, amen.
Thank you very much, cowboyusa!
