Klipsched with Yamahas Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just in case anyone was wondering why I haven't posted lately. Incurred Thursday, June 12th and was in the hospital for 4 days (3 recovering). No physical disabilities, but speech is good and 98% + memory restored. Well, I told the BIG MAN to help me stop smoking, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind (lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thankfully you're going to be OK. Maybe this is the BIG MAN saying time to stop smoking.... My thoughts and prayers for a complete and speedy recovery. Best of luck with stopping smoking ... not starting again is one of the toughest things people do.

oldbuckster Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I am very sorry to hear that, but the BIG MAN has already helped you. Believe me, I truly understand medical problems, had a few myself the past couple of years, but I now thank God for everyday that I wake up ............... Follow your Doctor's instructions, ready to quit smoking now, I bet, and take your meds. You have already won .......... Your Alive ............. Best Wishes, and Good Luck .... and keep the Cornwalls volume down ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 My little brother had one earlier this year. You guys are lucky, that's a great WAKE UP call without any consequences. It's time to do precisely what the doctor suggests. Cigarettes are a killer. Glad you came out on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Klipsched, Glad to hear things are on the mend. Not to make light of a stroke, my father in law has had several minor ones and fortunately, has recovered to the point that you'd have no clue. So get yourself on the mend and do what you need to do. Quitting smoking can be quite difficult. My wife ended up going "cold turkey" however she got addicted to the nicotine gum for a year as that became her replacement. Over the following year, she weened herself off the gum and today, it's been about 10 years that she's been a quitter. Brain Strokes suck. Technically, I think they blow?

Jeff Matthews Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hope you get well and healthier. Quitting smoking is either very hard or very easy. I have not heard too many in-betweens. Choose to make it easy. Maybe one day, they will invent a harmless cigarette. [:#] (More valuable than an alternative energy source).

fini Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Since you've recovered so well already, I guess we can now say it was a stroke of luck, eh?[*-)] Best wishes for a continued recovery, and good luck kicking the cigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Good thing that everything seems so far so good. When I was young my father had a bad stroke that caused him to lose 1/4 of his brain and alot of function on his right side (he is righty). It took 1 year of rehabilitation and he spent over 1 month in intensive care. But that was a long time ago. You sure did dodge a bigger bullet. Now eat right, exercise, no more salts and fats and reduce the red meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Mark, Whoa! I go out of town for a few days and look what happens! Glad your recovery is going so well. You know if I could kick the habit, anyone can! Keep it up amigo. I want to see you at our next get-together!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dflip Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Glad to see that you survived this warning. Follow the doctor's orders and take good care of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsched with Yamahas Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thanks everyone, and everything is going pretty well. Makes a huge difference on how you look at some things in life. Taking most things much slower now. (less stress) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
