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.

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.

I think hiring a home health aide is a wonderful idea!

Dear Jim. I am so sorry to read this. My ex-wife is in about the same condition and now beyond Assisted Living care. I've done a lot of research for live-in nurse/care givers as I sure you and Chris have also. If you want additional highly rated references, I would consider it an honor to provide such via Freepmail. Please let me know. If you are too infirmed, please let Chris know he can call me any time.

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.

I think it would be ideal in your situation. Good luck. If your doc isnโ€™t for it but you research it and determine you want to try, there are plenty of different affordable units available online. Some are pads placed on muscle groups to stimulate, some are in wrap/belt forms that can work arms, legs, and abdominals. All have adjustable intensities so you can set the level to whatever you can tolerate. Over time your tolerances will increase.

They are Tens machines. They used them on my husband's arm when he had a stroke.

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.

The essence of strength depends foremost on having a strong psyche. You have it Jim!
