Yup, stress will do that. Praying for a recovery, I wish I could do more.Our daughter just called, thinks her husband is having a stroke, cannot talk right, his birthday was Saturday, turned 41, just got let go from his management position on Friday.
How are you feeling?
typical corporate BS, he got 2 new businesses turned around and making profit for them, then they tell him he isn't needed anymore.
My relationship with management at any place I work with has always been distrusting but mostly respectful. Lots of failing up but you can find good souls without too much trouble. My relationship with corporate has always been openly hostile. I can never tell if that environment produces sociopaths or if it just attracts them, but either way it’s full of them.
Slight sniffles.. no worse than a mild cold. I think I had a slight fever yesterday, with some chills. that is all. I only tested myself, 'cuze that's what you're supposed to do now.. (No, I did it because it is expected of you, for yourself, and mainly for others. I have since contacted a few co-workers to have them test themselves)
It sounds like your daughter identified his symptoms quickly and got him to treatment. Best wishes for a full and rapid recovery. And I agree that corporate sucks.Our daughter just called, thinks her husband is having a stroke, cannot talk right, his birthday was Saturday, turned 41, just got let go from his management position on Friday.
And owls.huge girth
I sure hope you were her second call, after 911. I hope he come through it OK, stroke or otherwise.Our daughter just called, thinks her husband is having a stroke, cannot talk right, his birthday was Saturday, turned 41, just got let go from his management position on Friday.
I had a friend who specialized is turn-arounds like that. He knew he was always working his way out of a job, and knew when to start finding the next one. He could have formed a consulting company but preferred to be hired directly in some sort, any sort of executive on the financial side of the business. The title didn't matter as long as the pay was right, everyone knew what he was really there to do and he was given the power to do it.
thanks, he did have a stroke in the top part of his brain. Clot showed up but too late to start on the special drug, and too far in for the wire. Neuro doctor said he's going to see if there's another work around for another medicine. They said the whole hospital is filled upstairs and it may be awhile for a room.
So negotiate space or car parking her choice.....
I need to clean out for my space. The car in the garage is my Mercedes E350. Her car and my DD sit outside.
We had the very same thing happen in our first house. Only the water didn't shut off. When I got home the entire 1200 Sq Ft house was about 2" deep. Insurance covered every thing. Minus our deductible. New floors, new carpet, new drywall. They put blowers in to help dry everything out. Took all the floors out down to the slab. Place was a mess for a week.
they did get out of him that his left arm and hand was numb the day before, but he didn't tell anyone. Darned macho male ego.
I have had many of our pilots say similar things to me. I am not a pilot, but I am a ride on mechanic, basically I am the flying crew chief for my airplane. Once a day I spend about 90 minutes doing a detailed walk around inspection of my bird, opening up various access panels on the engines, checking oil levels, IDG oil levels, hydraulic fluids, doing wear inspections on all 16 tires and brakes, and more, before the flight crews arrive. I cannot tell you how many times I have had pilots come on board the airplane and basically say something along the lines of what you said, but about how they are glad that I am there, basically looking over everything for them. And then we also have some pilots who are the stereotypical pilots, who think that their S don’t stink, and basically scoff at us when we try to give them our preflight briefing on the status of the bird. Luckily the latter are few and far between. But it always feels good when a pilot walks up and thanks me for the work I’ve done on the plane when I’ve been living on my plane for up to 14 days at a time, working in various weather conditions (like today in ANC when it was windy and 14 degrees outside, or when it’s driving rain) while they are at their warm hotel sleeping in a bed. It’s a job that I chose, but it’s a job that I love!
Water, hydraulic fluid; has anyone got a gas leak?
Only after Taco Bell.....
Writing is likely to be extremely challenging to tackle at this point. A stroke can damage the ability to feel, see, and move in the finely controlled manner needed to write legibly. Cognition may be affected too.my daughter said her husband has spoken very little since the stroke yesterday. They have a white board for him to write on, and one of his answers was (4) zeros in a row.
Say "Hi" to Whistler for me. I did some skiing there back in '91. Also did six weeks at Blackcombe in a ski instructor course (and four weeks skiing a different mountain each day in Alberta, British Columbia and Washington State). Nice part of the world. Back then Blackcombe was the better mountain. Not sure now. 11km was the longest run, but it took some getting to. Up the Wizard lift, then the Solar Coaster lift, then ski to the back of the mountain and up Seventh Heaven lift, then ski down to the bottom of the glacier and grab the Glacier T-bar to the top. If you do that run just make sure you have enough speed when you get to the frozen lake to carry you across.

He can say some short sentences, other times just can't get anything out. Going to be a long recovery and likely won't be able to work for a long time.
