Had a stroke this mornings

[SideShow Bob]

I had a stroke this morning.
And I didn’t even know it until the wife got up and I tried to,say good morning. I couldn’t talk and she noticed the left side of my face was drooping. Well of course she called 911.
And I spent the rest of the day in the ER and intensive care. I am currently in Sky Ridge and will be there for a couple days.
My mental abilities are not effected more than what is normal for me, but my speech is for shit, the left side of my face numb and drooping and some of my left side numb to the waist.

All and all I consider myself lucky, it could have been far worse.

Sorry, I just had to relieve the tension and fright I have been felling throughout the day.

Wow, I’m glad you’re doing as well as you are. That had to be scary, no doubt. Hang in there, work hard with the speech therapist. I’m curious if you were a candidate for thrombolytics or an interventional procedure, but understand if you don’t feel like expounding. Let us know if you need anything.

Hoping for a quick and full recovery.

Wouldnt wish that on anyone, hope whatever rehab you get restores full function.

[SideShow Bob]

No procedures so far,. Just observation for a couple of days. And rehab unless something raises its ugly head.

Well that's not good. Glad it wasn't any worse. Get better soon.

May God bless you and your family. May He give you peace and patience as you work to recover what you’ve lost.

Thank you for sharing your scare with us. Please let us know how we can help.

Yikes. Really sucks getting old. You seem to have your wits about you so I guess you can count your blessings for that.

Sorry to hear it.

Very happy to hear that you're able to cognitively operate - including typing out a clear and understandable message. Even if you can't communicate via talking for a bit you should be okay with typing out what you need to say.

Also very happy to hear that it wasn't worse than it is. Praying for you and your wife and for guidance to your caregivers.

Please do let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do for you. You have a lot of folks who care deeply for you and want you to heal completely.

It's been too long since we got together to shoot. Once you get recovered, if teh weather is nice, we'll have to go shooting.
