twinstar_ca Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Posted April 28, 2003 i haven''t been around much the past month.. have enjoyed trying to catch up on the post''s.. march 31, i suffered an unexpected intra-cerebral hemmorhage and spent the next 2 and 1/2 weeks in hosp. the suspected cause was high blood pressure and i will be off work for the next few weeks as i recover now at home.. guys, i woke up feeling fine in the a.m., went to work, and by 1330, was in an ambulance on my way to hosp.. CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE!! don''t make my mistake!! regards, twinstar Quote

twinstar_ca Posted April 30, 2003 Author Report Posted April 30, 2003 thanks for the good wishes, guys.. it was a real eye-opener for me.. my co-workers have accused me now of going to any lengths to get a good 1st aid story for my classes!! i had my 1st physio appt yesterday and it will take another month or so before i can hit the classroom again, but i will get there!!

LongRanger Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Hey Twinny.....how ya gettin'' on by''?? Man, sounds like a rough ride. Tell ya what, hold them wings I sent ya once a day and that''ll send the Doc away!! In layman''s terms are we talkin'' a stroke?? If so you are very lucky to be tapping away at the keyboard. Anyways man...take care of youself. Spose you''re gonna claim a new handicap in the golf game now Quote
downwash Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Rough ride, TwinStar. Hope everything''s rosy from here. The old BP catches up with us if we''re not careful. I notice mine by the pounding in the ears if I miss my exercise for a few days. A walk a day keeps the BP at bay. Keep us posted, TS, and all the best. Quote
4961 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Way to go Twinstar, good luck on the rest of your recovery. Take care of yourself bud, us Eurocopter types have to stick together. Quote
twinstar_ca Posted May 3, 2003 Author Report Posted May 3, 2003 thanks again for all the good wishes, guys.. LR, those wings are hanging on the wall in my office so the gang at work doesn''t forget i''ll be back!! in layman''s terms, a stroke would likely leave permanent injury.. i am expected to recover completely although it may take a little while. i had a blood vessel someplace near the back of the brain bleed. the catscans and angiogram have showed that it quit bleeding and has left a clot near the back of my brain. my body is absorbing it and eliminating the same way it would a bruise. the silly thing is, as a former health care professional, i should have known i was at risk. at least i get to live and learn!!! gc ps my handicap begins when i tee up!!!
