Dueller - Remember... the hospital and any extened care facility may suck but put in the work to get back to 100%... 10 years later and I wished I would have recognized this 10 years ago so that I too could have made it back to 100%.

Get well Jim! Glad to hear it sounds like you'll be back to normal before long (well normal for you anyway).
 All of the (mostly) kind sentiments on this thread reminds me of how cool it is that a bunch of dudes (and dudettes) on a web site talking about cars have all become each other's extended family over the years. Proud to be a part of it!

I wonder if they're starting the Physical Therapy already?... maybe some range-of-motion exercizes with a bevy of beautiful nurses?

Update
This is Robbin, Jim's nurse friend. He is slow on the uptake with his typing today so I am his typist. Our news is the best we could hope for in that Jim's CVA was very mild. He has wonderful odds of full recovery with a bit of work ahead. He is going through a battery of tests to determine the cause so that appropriate interventions can be taken to prevent a repeat performance. He is undergoing PT with hip thrust exercises -- somehow he said he could have used me for those -- what does that mean??!!!! LOL Also OT and Speech is in progress. He has to turn his head to the weak side (left) to swallow safely so don't laugh when he does that during your next beers. That's a safety issue. Speech Therapy also wants him to do tongue thrusts and he's wondering if he's really in a hospital or is it actually a brothel! As you can probably tell, he is still JIM with an intact sense of humor, which is very helpful in the face of the recovery he will make. He wishes to thank all of you for your well wishes and thoughts of him during this time. We will keep you posted!

Robbin, thank you for taking such good care of him. Jim is a really good guy, and it's good to know he has such a wonderful nurse. Yes, he is a bit incorrigible and it sounds like you are the same.
Maybe this will turn out to be a stroke of luck for our friend Jim. Thank you so much for the good news!_ |

Jim, my best wishes for a full recovery. Speedy is nice but full is better. And BTW welcome to the Adversity Survivors Club.
