Just An Fyi:

I hope you took some aspirin right away to minimize any after-effects. That is supposed to help.

 

Jeez Tim so sorry to hear this bad news.......and here was me whining because last week I got two cold sores on my right eyeball and they have formed ulcers into the surface of my right eye .........At least it is not a stroke
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Tim and here's hoping you are back to your old tricks ASAP
Take care and look after yourself my friend
Cheers
joffa

 

Thanks Laura I don't know which is worse.....the cold sores......the two ulcers....... or the wretched Aciclovir ointment that has to have a ½" stripe put across the centre of my eyeball every two hours..........it is just great when the ointment glues your eye shut
The pain isn't too good but after a while you get used to it

 

Sorry to hear that, Tim - best wishes for your recovery!!

 

Sorry to hear this bad news Tim.
Do take care of yourself.

 

Take care Tim and joffa! I hope you both are on the road to a speedy recovery.

 

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery Tim

 

Doesn't sound great to be honest Tim. I wish you a speedy recovery and less brain fogginess.

 

I had two strokes before... same thing... couldn't tell why. But real convenient of them to put me on a lifetime regiment of medication. But at least now, they've ruled out the really bad stuff. Best wishes for your continued recovery, Tim!

 

Jeez Tim, I hope your condition keeps improving and the road to recovery doesn't end in a train wreck.
Us old timers are starting to fall by the wayside.........
Best wishes my friend and please take care
Cheers
joffa

 

Good luck with your scans and tests Tim and I hope everything is okay. You have to hang in there my friend......if you go then who will sneak around the forum playing policeman in the background?????
Best wishes Tim for a speedy recovery and for once I am not whining about anything........ooooppppsss I should have been touching wood when I said that

 

I think it's time for your body to stop doing weird things mate.

 

@TimW I'm new to MG, but I wanted to wish you health and wellness!

 

How's things now @TimW ? Back on the path to recovery or is your body still doing weird things?

 

That sucks to hear Tim. Hope things get better quickly!

 

Don't take aspirin (that's for a suspected heart attach, not a stroke).

One of my friends and a retired coworker had a TIA (mini-stroke) in June. She has moved from a walker to a cane but she still has double vision.

 

Jeez Tim.....sad to hear mate
Sending you some healing thoughts and hopefully you have some improvement
Otherwise I will join you and we can take some errr medicine lol........cheers!!

My mum has suffered a few as well.

 

Sorry to hear Tim Hope you get to getting better soon.

 

Stay safe. Hope you bounce back as far as possible.

 

I recall Edwin Collins (formerly of the band, Orange Juice) had a stroke, and had to learn to read again. It's a very serious condition. My mother had a stroke last year, but luckily it was a minor one. Sadly, her other health problems got the better of her, and she's in God's care now. This is why I absolutely detest cigarettes and vaping equipment. It's just a waste of health, and health is wealth.

For anyone who smokes, you may want to consider stopping it. Easier said than done. I'm kind of disappointed that New Zealand has gone and ended their smoking ban, as non smokers are being put at risk of inhaling this and ending up with problems caused by others.

 

Strokes with my family on both sides of parents, including both parents, goes back three generations that I know of. I reckon my siblings and I would be natural candidates. So I'm familiar with the type of concerns you and your family have, regardless the "face" you put to us on in the Forum - I've been at too many bedsides 'til the end, so I can only say how I admire your attitude - it is majorly fantastic!

Lifestyle? Stress? Whatever you're doing, perhaps you need to slow down some and pace yourself.
