Prayers are needed for Michael J. Fox. The beloved actor makes the sad announcement everyone feared

Michael J. Fox, a Parkinson’s patient, said that the previous year has been a “battle” due to his numerous damaged bones.

The Hollywood star also talked about how his mother’s passing affected him, but he claims he is still optimistic.

The 61-year-old Back to the Future actor, who was given the ailment in 1991, has since raised money and awareness for the disease’s study.

Fox recently talked about how his health issues “worsened” over the past year and how his recovery is going in a new interview with People magazine.

He told the US source, “It went worse, I fractured my cheek, then my hand, then my shoulder, had a replacement shoulder put in, shattered my (right) arm, then I broke my elbow.

“I’m 61 years old, and I’m feeling it a little bit more,” he continued.

According to the NHS website, Parkinson’s disease is a condition where areas of the brain gradually deteriorate over a long period of time.

Tremors, delayed mobility, and stiff and inflexible muscles are the three main signs of the illness. Tremors are the involuntary shaking of specific body regions.

Fox’s movement is affected by the ailment, but many who know him believe this does not necessarily mean that the sickness is moving more quickly.

I was never really a grouchy man, but I was quite cranky and short with people, the actor acknowledged, admitting the succession of ailments had altered his usually upbeat approach.

I attempt to stop it before it starts. I never forget about the assistants I work with.

And I frequently tell them, “Imagine I said ‘please’ at the beginning and ‘thank you’ at the finish of whatever I say. Just pause for a moment to realize that I might have said that if I were more authentic, for which I apologize.

After retiring in 2020, the former actor claimed that he is now “coming through” as the last of his wounds are healing.

Just now, I’m beginning to walk steadily once more. I find solo walking to be cool. It is. It’s amazing,” he continued.

Using a walker, wheelchair, cane, or “a guy with a belt around my waist hanging onto it,” his goal is to avoid falling over at this point.

He accomplished this objective earlier this month when, in front of a cheering crowd of admirers, he joined his Back to the Future co-star Christopher Lloyd, 84, on stage at New York’s Comic-Con.

The late Phyllis Fox, who passed away in September at the age of 92, was also mentioned by Fox.

She was “amazing,” he said, adding that he now values her fortitude as a military spouse who raised Fox and his four siblings while his father, William, was serving in the Canadian military.

After this difficult time, he continued, “I’m happy. It’s been a challenge, but I’m moving on.

“I say it because I think that individuals can find happiness despite their circumstances on some degree,”

The former actor, who later married actress Tracy Pollan and had four children together, has said that they had to learn to alter their marriage to accommodate his illness, but that they always “assume the best” about one another.

According to People magazine, Fox established The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in 2000, which has raised more than $1.5 billion for research funding.

At the Governors Awards on November 19, he will receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an honorary Oscar honoring exceptional charity endeavors.

He is working on a documentary with Apple+ for the following year that, in his words, will examine him and his “various perspectives on my life.”
