    Glad to see you back Bhob, hope you have a speedy recovery!

      I wish you a speedy recovery Bhob.

      I don't post often but thought I'd share....I had a stroke 2 months ago.
      I was driving in traffic & peeled off a side street & noticed the car was not going...just idle moving. I managed to pull into a gas station wondering what the heck was going on. I tried to get out of the car but could't...I could barely if at all move my right half. Feeling embarrassed as I saw people watching I got back in the car & drove off left footed. I somehow got my brother on the phone & talked for a couple minutes & he tried to convince me to call 911 before the call dropped. At that point I decided I needed to get medical attention, pulled off the freeway, made a left turn, & hey, there's a hospital. I pulled in, managed to get out of the car & stumbled in....within seconds I was attended to...eventually got the clot busting drug(s) in me and felt back to normal within an hour of arriving. Spent 2 days in ICU before being released.

      I felt weak & afraid for a week or 2 after even though I was pretty much at full strength. The thought that I'm a ticking time bomb are less frequent now and the Dr.s say I shouldn't worry...easy for them to say. I was jogging again about 3 weeks post stroke. The only thing I've noticed physically is my writing is a bit off, & my golf game stinks.


      I did find some Facebook groups that have been helpful & would recommend looking around and/or joining a couple.

      Again, best wishes,
      Jerry

          Good to hear a success story...they can do remarkable things if they happen to catch early enough. But, the important question is this: How was your gold game prior to the stroke?

              Ha! Before the stroke a typical round was 75-81 (I did mix in an even par round in May). Now it's 84-92.

                Man, i read your first message and I'm like, WTF? Call 911! And then I think, would I? Probably not... My uncles told me about their heart attacks and they both were like "eh, I'm fine, let's just watch the rest of this show and see how I feel at the end" or whatever... I'd be the same way. We need to seriously take note of this, the regular denizens here aren't getting any younger... call 911!!

                glad things are working out mate.

                  for non-golfers, this is going from excellent to good, at any age.

                  if over 50, adjust the parameters. some golfers never break 90 (nor 100)

                      I know a woman that has had a stroke, heart attack, cancer, concussion, coma, meningitis, appendicitis, peritonitis, plantar fasciitis, and I'm leaving out things like dislocations and West Nile, both strains. She's 66 and still works part-time.

                          Just thought everyone here that hasn't seen would like to know.
                          Piney, can you update us.

                          I am hoping that Bob is just busy with his recovery rather than something worse.

                          Thank you.

                            I will try to remember and check when I get home. Bob doesn't always show up in my feed.

                              I believe Bob posted something today about it being his wedding anniversary. I think he is currently in rehab, as well.

                              i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

                                Thank all of you for helping my precious wife and kids while I recover and fight this fight. Knowing that Beth is the toughest person I know but that even she needs the love and support of her friends, the knowledge that you all are there for her means the world to me. My most heartfelt love and thanks to the folks who are there to ease her burden while I haul myself off of the mat. I love her and by extension all of you for being there for her.
                                This is all i found. It was in commentsof another post. And yes it is his anniversary today.
