Well now, that just stinks  >:(  Sorry to hear that, Mike.   Now if you were right down the road I'd be over in my spare time to help keep your business going.  You get lots of rest and take care of yourself.

the moderator would remove the first line out of mouth. It would be the sargeant major version of "some Bitch!" I wish you a speedy recovery,and don't be an idiot and push it !!!!

My biggest concern is what the heck are they going to do to your diet now that you and John have each had one ? If they put you on melba toast and skimmed milk I'll send you down a couple of shirts LOL.

As Red Green would say "keep your stick on the ice" "we're all pullin' for 'ya "

Oh Mike... no one needs that sort of thing. 

You have to do precisely what they tell you to do to get yourself well.  Even when it's hard and you don't "feel like it".  Esp. at those times!

Mum had a stroke in '04 and my brother and I "rode her hard" about doing the things she needed to do for recovery.  She would get really pissed off about it, but she did it, and the results were amazing. 

Grit it out, friend.

Oh man, that sucks! Take it easy and work at recovery and you'll be back at it in no time. My dad had a pretty big stroke a few years ago and is back to normal. Well, sort of. His old normal would never have included a solo trip around South America, but what ever.

Good luck!

Yo, Mike (or john) send me 6 numbers between 1-49. If we win I'll be down there as soon as my passport gets processed. Until then, as everyone has said, focus on your health. everything else doesn't matter and can wait.

Sorry I woke you up yesterday. I was expecting to leave a message on your shop answering machine.

Unbelievable Mike!!! The same thing just happened to another buddy of mine. Every case is different, but the recovery is the same...keep a good attitude, and  challenge yourself to recovery. Never give up. Keep us posted on your progress...we all need to know, Bro.

Sorry to hear Mike, but its good to hear you are home and beginning your recovery.  Seeing as how you've mastered the art of our industry, I have all the faith that you'll quickly learn how to overcome this bump in the road.

We're within a few weeks of the first frost here in PA, if you find yourself in need of a set of hands over the miserable winter I have ahead feel free to ask and once I'm done sweeping the floors maybe I'll learn something.  It would be hard to tell my wife I'm going to Florida for a few weeks to camp in my trailer while she enjoys snow with our dog, but I guess I could talk myself into that road trip if I had to ;)

Best wishes for a quick recovery, but remember slow and steady wins the race.

Hey Mike, never mind the spelling.  We can figure it all out.  You did a short drive in the lay z boy???  You have one of those motorized recliners?  Always wanted one of those to tool around town in  ;)  Happy to hear you're feeling better!  ;D  Keep your eye on the goal and take care of yourself.  Check in when you can.

Don't worry about the spelling Mike. It gives us something to do, like a puzzle :D. Have you put a sewing machine on that Lazy Boy?  ;D

Just take your time and get better! And keep posting for us!

Dang Mike, I hate to hear that buddy!

I was reading about Chris's motorhome fiasco and saw where you had a stroke.  Everything's happened while I've been fighting my dad blum laptop!  Just got it back today and trying to catch up on reading some of the posts on the forum.

I had some corrupted files and couldn't even get it to turn on, so I had to have an expert fix it....my fine alignment tool (big hammer) wouldn't git 'er done!

Keep poking at that keyboard, I'm sure it's some good eye/hand coordination therapy.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm sure it is. When Dad had his stroke he had problems with his left hand and leg not wanting do as they were told so he was going 2 hours up the road twice a week for physio. They had him moving marbles from this dish to that dish; first right hand, then left hand. (wax on wax off, paint the fence LOL). He also decided to sell his electrical business so was doing inventory and cleaning out vans etc...He quickly informed them that he would be putting marrettes (wire connectors) etc into boxes instead of their %$## marbles.

I'm certainly not advocating Mike should close up shop. (Dad  had been thinking about that for a while anyway.) My point is many everyday activities that we don't even think about are the same as all the fancy "therapy" that we run to the "professionals" for.

Now that should keep you out of trouble...  Most of us, me especially, produce words without having thought  :-[ 

Glad you're getting up and around and doing stuff.  It'll all help I'm sure.  Like Darren says, "occupational" therapy....

Title: Re: Heyy all
Post by: bobbin on October 27, 2010, 11:44:58 am
I already see improvement in your typing, Mike!

The best thing you can do is get back to doing things, familiar things.  The "paths" in our brains for familiar things are well worn and strokes are like obstacles on those paths.  Going back to familiar trails allows the brain a chance to find a detour and then use it quickly and efficiently to by-pass the obstacle.  Repetition is your best friend after a stroke. 

Keep grinding away and keep doing what they tell you to do.  Esp. when it's hard!  You will get there, my friend.  Hang tough!
