Moved to Misc. as it's a better home for this thread.

On another note, I'm glad you pulled through and are doing better, OKSooner. Glad to have you back. Be well!

I had two minor strokes and one larger one 4weeks ago whilst in Bali. I spent a week in hospital. Apart from aslight weakness in my left arm I am fit as a fiddle and the specialists here at home predict that I will gain 95% fullstrength within 6 months. Although I don't recomend it. it was one hell of a way to give up smoking. listen to yor specialists mate and work onwhat is good for you

My grandad (not the Irish one) had two strokes in his 70s. The second one killed him, even though he was beginning to recover from the first one.

A bloke I worked with had a stroke at a young age and had to go back home to live with his parents as he could no longer write or speak, and still can't many years later. He uses a pointing device to communicate, including on FaceBook. Sometimes the days of the week are randomly included in what he 'says'. They must be close to other things he is trying to point to.

Well, that's enough being morbid. You are apparently doing much better than either of them. You are alive and typing coherently.

Sorry to hear of your health issue, but glad to hear of your prognosis.

OKSooner, you have my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery.
@Downunder Kilt, I`m glad to hear how well you are doing, and yes, that is a helluva way to quit smoking. I hope you are doing well with that.

I've worn a kilt to hospital many times. Last time was a week ago for a hernia op. They said wear loose clothing, doesn't get much looser than a kilt! Wishing you a quick recovery.
