25 years ago we were all relatively young and having a ball on this forum. Now we're all either having stokes, battling cancers or dealing with arthritis and forgetting to take our fucking Metamucil.

Fuck you, time.

Glad to hear you're OK!

Funny you should mention that.. They were sneaking that into my food, and lfow- something or other in to my food to make me piss.

I'm like " "make up your mind, what end do you want it coming out of?"

There was a brain bleed involved, but others have fared far worse with that. I have some memory holes, and I I've lost about 80% of finger strength, but I'm not drooling in a cup.

Glad you're doing better.

Wishing you a very speedy and full recovery!

Welcome back and congrats on surviving your ordeal! Its hard to believe how fragile life is.

Even our bones break easier than you think. My tibia snapped just by putting some pressure on it at a bad angle during a hard bike ride in 2011. I found out how fun crutches are and by the time I was healed I enjoyed using crutches more than plain walking. I could move very quickly with them even run up stairs with them.

I still have a plate and seven screws in my right leg, the xray of the hardware is actually gruesome.

Glad to hear your faculties are intact. Hope your recovery goes well and quickly.

The brain bleed, that's an aneurysm, no? I assume the coma was induced.

They gave me a wheelchair, just because.

I'm avoiding it for the same reason.

But not the nostrils...I couldn't hold back a surprise attack sneeze while I was busy chomping down on a burrito with beans and rice and some rice thought it was a really cool idea to escape that way. For that matter, the only other times I had anything foreign coming out of there is when I surfed 10ft. + waves and get tumbled around in the whitewash a number of times. Salt water would pile up in my nasal cavities and pour back out unexpectedly at the most embarrassing moments possible.

A brain bleed stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke, less common than an ischemic stroke usually caused by a blood clot blocking a blood vessel.

They may not know what caused the brain bleed if there wasn't known trauma or they couldn't find something like an aneurysm, where a blood vessel is essentially weakened in an area and can rupture.

Did you take a lot of NSAIDs like ibuprofen/aleve/aspirin, or blood thinners, prior to the stroke?

They have me on Eliquis for blood thinning, and I'm eating Tylenol like Skittles for pain in my hands.

Glad to see you back.
I had been wondering where you went.
Keep on keeping on, Viper1j.
