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.

You make very good points regarding hospice. Yet so many people recoil in horror at the idea of going into hospice care.

Isn’t that the last step before death?

Well, no. Not necessarily. Hospice Care includes Palliative Care which is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness, such as cancer or heart failure. Patients in palliative care may receive medical care for their symptoms, or palliative care, along with treatment intended to cure their serious illness. Palliative care is meant to enhance a person’s current care by focusing on quality of life for them and their family.

That's your creation, Jim.

Praying for that your return to full strength, brother.

Still praying for miracles.

Well Jim; our GOD is still in the miracle business, so surely these hundreds - no THOUSANDS - of prayers sent aloft in your behalf will bend GOD's ear.

But we will; like Churchill before us and the writer of Daniel; repeat the words: "...but if not...".
Please know that your life HAS been a miracle; one that has played out before the world in this fantastic creation of yours - FREEREPUBLIC.

A place where much of MY life has been lived - learning, perhaps teaching - being uplifted, being depressed - hoping, and praying - crying and laughing.


Forrest told us that he was not a smart man, but he knew what love was.

May GOD's love envelope you with a warmness that surpasses anything we mere FReepers can send your way; giving you hope and healing and peace.


Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of FR.

Vaya con Dias.

Kyrie eleison x 40.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who did patiently endure the scourging and wounding of Your most holy Body, that You might save the souls and bodies of Your people, look graciously, we beseech You, upon the suffering bodies of Your servant, James, and give him strength to endure patiently whatsoever You shall see fit to lay upon him. Bless the means employed for the working out of his cures, granting that he may so endure their sufferings in the flesh that the wounding of their body may be to avail for the correcting and salvation of his soul, for Yours it is to show mercy and to save, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up Glory, as to Your Eternal Father and Your All‑Holy, Good and Life‑creating Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
