WOW I am at a loss for words 🙁

Greg, please take care of yourself and get better soon.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
 
Greg, I hope for a quick recovery, take care 🙂



Anyone knows if we can send him emails at the hospital, like we did with his brother?

I just got back to the hotel in Detroit and saw this. I am shocked and greatly saddened!

When I was in the hosp. for bypass surgery, the morning I was being wheeled into the operating room, a nurse ran up with over 30 pages of email from team mates. I was overwhelmed with emotions as I read the page after page of well wishes. I am SURE Greg would appreciate the same. So, does anyone know where he is?
 
God bless, Greg.

Good thoughts and prayers for you.

This on top of Katrina as well 🙁

I hope you get better quickly & that it turns out not to be a stroke

My best wishes & thoughts are with you Greg

Take care mate
 
Gosh, I'm overwhelmed. 😱

I did have a stoke. My entire right side went numb from my leg to my jaw. I handled the situation much better than I would have thought. Never got scared. Had the state of mind that I knew I'm going to move on one of these days and a stroke was one of those possibilites. Just doing the best you can each day is quite comforting ... what will be, will be.

After the episode I immediately got my wife to get out the Merck Medical Reference and we quickly diagnosed what was going on before we ever left for the hospital. What a time for this to happen. Most of the area hospitals are either destroyed or crippled by Hurricane Katrina.

Update: Things are getting better. I need to create some new connections between my brain and my right leg and right arm. The numbness in my leg and in my right jaw have almost completely gone away. Only my right arm still feels a little numb. Sounds like a little physical re-programming is needed ... no big deal for an AnandTecher, right! 🙂

Though I haven't officially gotten the word, the medical technician who gave me the ultrasound scan of my carotid artery told me things looked pretty good.

Sounds like I need to start taking an aspirin a day to thin the blood, lose weight, lower chlorestral, and get my body in better shape. Can do. 😉

I'm now pestering the hell out of the nurses to get in touch with my doctor and get my discharge papers lined up. This room is needed by others a lot more than me. (Besides, it's Monday Night Football and the hospital has no TV). lol

Getting the well wishes and prayers from all of you has made me tear-up, again. I wish I could get/give a big hug from/to each of you. Dang, that sounds kinda mushy ... getting soft in my old age. 😛 😀

You all are not rid of me yet.
:evil:
 
So glad to hear you in good spirits greg, and rather than pester them nurses to get you out ...get them to bring in the big screen tv and the massage trays😉

Please take it a little easy getting back on the horse, start slow and build on it everyday.

It sure is great hearing you are doing a bit better, but that isn't enough to get you out of our prayers yet 🙂

I am looking forward to your full return to health. 😛

If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

:beer:
