Good to hear you're doing better. Sounds like you had a good group taking care of you, listen to them! Prayers coming your way!

Damn, that is really scary. Do they have any idea on what might have caused it and what you can do to avoid them in the future?

Glad your recovery is going well. Definitely very scary stuff. Get well my man!

Thank u guys so much. Im all in for Week 1! Lol.

The numbness is going away. Tests are rolling in
So everything is negative so far. No hole in the heart. Nothing really wrong with the heart. Not sure why it happened. I definitely need some diet changes. I will never smoke again, but thats a no brainer. Bad cholesterol needs to come down. I really dodged a bullet. Could have really been much worse. Strangest experience of my life. To go from
not able to remember my Wifes name just a few days ago and watch the brain start working again. The dead spots in my brain are in the way so my brain is figuring out how to re- wire its self. It is really fascinating shit actually.

One word of advice if you have a stroke, put ur phones down until u are less confused. You send some really confusing stuff to people even though you think ur making sense. Also
Real bad idea to mess around with ur bank accounts and bills - ya will have time to work it all out later. Lol.

Glad you have your sense of humor. I hope the doctors and/or tests can provide some sort of checklist to put you in the best position to not have to go through this again any time soon.

It's a good sign if your sense of humor is unaffected. Glad to hear you pulled through it Punch - glad to hear you're gonna take advantage of this opportunity because some aren't so lucky. Keep us updated - hope it's a quick return to normalcy for you.
