Good to hear you survived the stroke and will be making a full recovery, MKSixer. My mother had a heart attack and then a stroke a couple months later and it killed her at the young age of 49. Count your blessings and enjoy every day of your life.
Lucky your daughter reacted so quickly and the paramedics came within a few minutes. That can make all the difference. I have a daughter as well and we are very close. Would not want her to go through what I went through when my mom died. I'm sure you feel the same about your daughter. |

They say that this “Prancersize” is good excercize for stroke victims. Can you post a video of you doing so?
Take care of yourself, and pray for a speedy recovery. Good to hear from you again. |

MKSixer Glad you are recovering quickly and have decided to slow the pace a bit. My career life has become very hectic as well over the past couple of years to the point where I sometimes wonder if I will pay the price with my health. If we work ourselves to an early end, it will have been all for naught. Take care my friend, and stay in touch with your adoring BP family!

He’s home! And in true MK style, left the hospital wearing a pin striped suit.

He sent me a pic. It was a suit. His collar was open, no tie. He went casual.

And for some reason all the doctors and staff were wishing my daughter good luck when we were leaving, like I'm hard to deal with. I'm very easy as long as I get my way!!

just gave all my contemporaries the same advice.My doctors all said that being in great shape really made this a much easier recovery which will lead to a better outcome. For the last 5 months I was working out 5-6 times per week and prior to the CVA, I was at my college sophomore weight. I feel like my weight increased slightly but the scale says different. My sister says it's just a feeling from the bloat the meds give. The suit I wore is custom made and fit perfectly but the drape looked off. I also tried on two high-end Italian names which also fit perfectly but didn't look right. Ah well. I just have to see how this works out. I have to do 2, 6 minute segments for a local TV show the first week of November and I just want to feel right by then.

You may have had a temporary setback but damn if you aren't the sharpest and most alert stroke victim in human history! I can't make out your profile pic but always thought that looked like Lee Majors, so you're the $6M man indeed. Glad you're back home on the way to a full recovery. Tx for your very detailed update.

I was most worried about my cognition but it is good. One of my colleauges told me, "Do whatever you need to do to protect that beautiful mind of yours, it would a loss for us all". This is one of the nicest things anyone has said to me in my entire life. She came in, took a list of all my meetings and cleaned up my work as it came in. A VP of a company on whose board I sit directed everyone to cease all my communication, archive them and pass anything urgent to him as he was my filter. Letting go of control is the hardest thing for me but I needed to do so in order to protect my brain. My room was darkened most of time and lots of classical music from the Baroque Era which is proven to help the brain. And after who doesn't enjoy a little J.S. Bach?

Glad to hear it all worked out for you. I was in the ER this weekend too, following a massive seizure. Puts things into perspective.

Hips were easy. It was the MRSA, staph, oral fungal infections skin fungal infections and...for the coup de gras, The F'n Shingles which caused me 6 months of misery. I took 35 different meds in that time period. My last 12 have been the worst, health-wise of my life. Several hospital ER visits, prior to the CVA for the infections.
