    Shawn had a stroke yesterday morning. (12/22) He contacted me and said it was o.k. to share the information.

    Yesterday afternoon he said his speech was better. This morning he had an "angio thing". (Shawn's words) and it went well...no Doctor's report yet.

    I'll ask later for a snail-mail address. He resides in Pennsylvania.

    Updates as I get them as long as my network stays up. I was on shaky 3G wireless last night when I wanted to share this.

    Thank you.

    Jeff

    thanks for starting this thread .

    i sent him an email ...
    yeah , it might be easier for him to use the PM function of this forum .
    i wonder if someone grabbed one of his toughbooks to use in the hospital ?

    I am getting lots of rest..Still pretty scared and lots of stuff going on in my head.
    My faith has been weak, at best, for quite some time. The stroke makes faith a much more important issue. Please PM me your stories of faith.

    Thanks again

    Shawn,

    As a survivor of preemie birth and Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida, you can overcome the odds. I did. Will be a lot of work. Best wishes for speedy healing. May you be tougher than your ToughBooks are. Hang in there. Challenges can be worked around, opportunity is out there for you.

    Well folks.
    Today makes one year since the stroke.
    I am ok for the most part.
    Anxiety can still be an issue.
    My energy level is improving slowly, but it is improving.
    No noticeable physical problems other than the fatigue and sleeping is a bit irregular.
    I don't have much of a filter on my mouth anymore. If I think it, I tend to say it. Especially if I am emotional.

    Anxiety and 120 proof coffee,the kind that the spoon stands up in. That's me! I sleep with earplugs as it cuts the startling wakeups down to a minimum. Doing good man,keep it up. o_O
