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.
Praying.
God speed, Jim.
Praying for you and Chris, Jim.
Praying for you, Jim! And also praying for Chris and those who are providing care. Eagles up!
I’ve kept you in my prayers all along and will continue to do so. And I will now add prayers that you get the very best caregiver God has for you so that you can start recovering your strength.
May the Lord bless you, Chris and all of you abundantly, in Jesus’s name. 🙏
Praying for you,Jim
Praying in agreement with you, FC.
Praying for you Sir
God Bless you
You hang in great.
God bless and thank you!
I will pray, but please consider trying a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine who does acupuncture and herbs, or at least an acupuncturist. It sounds nuts Jim, but somebody insisted I go to one and it altered the course of my life.
The Chinese spent 6,000 years honing their theories, and the ability of it to remodel your whole body’s operations is mind blowing. I have an elderly relative who gets weaker, more tired, more stiff, and less sharp, and a few weeks of acupuncture alone is like fueling up the whole system from cognition, to mood, to energy to joint health. It is amazing.
It does not work in one visit. The changes are slower than modern medicine, but as a result they are also more permanent, because it is a structural change to your system rather than a drug that washes out in a day. The herbs are actually like supercharging the acupuncture, but not everyone does them.
God bless you, and thank you for the site.
Thank for spending your strength to post.
Will pray to Jesus for your healing and caregivers.
