prayers are with you "Neck"....

my Dad had a stroke when he was 55, so I know how devastating it can be. hopefully the damage was minimal and she will have a full recovery.
feel free to call on me if you need any info or anything.

Update on Neck's mom, and thankfully it's good news. This is from an e-mail from Neck's boss:

>>>Arni Sribhen's mother suffered a mild stroke, she is up and talking and plans are for her to be transferred to a rehab hospital early next week.<<<

Keep praying and thinking of Neck and his family, boys, but this sounds like an encouraging early report.

Take care,
PK

Very good news if she is up and talking. My old man (just 60 years young) knows what he wants to say, but when he goes to say it other words come out. Also, his right arm is basically paralyzed and it always feels like that pins-and-needles sensation you get when your arm "falls asleep". I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating that would be.

Great news about your mom though neck, we'll keep praying. As PK said, early reports are sounding quite favorable. Glad to hear it!

Thanks to everyone for their wishes to my family and to my mom. I think everyone's good wishes are helping at a pretty stressful time for my entire family.

Personally, I think it's really cool that a bunch of guys, many who only know me from playing games online, would take the time to not only read this thread, but also respond to it. I've done it 100 times for other people, and didn't know if it did much good, but I can say it does mean a lot to me.

My mom is talking, but did suffer some weakness on her left side as a result of the stroke. She's had better days and I think now that some of the initial shock has worn off, she had a little worse day today. Hopefully, Sunday will be better.

Thanks again, everyone.

Neck,
She'll have good days and she'll have bad days. Recovery is a very slow process. I'm not sure how much you know about strokes so I'm not trying to insult your intelligence by any means. Until my father suffered his last year at this time I knew absolutely nothing about them.

Anyway your mom's brain is learning from day one how to do the functions that the portion of the brain that was damaged used to do. It takes a long time, but you should see something new everyday. My best analogy is thinking of an infant and how they are continuously learning nonstop. Portions of your moms brain is back in that developmental stages right now.

One of the worst things about a stroke, IMO, is that there's no real gage as to how well she's coming along or how far she will come when it's all said and done. There's just no way to predict how much damage she will recover from.

When my dad suffered his stroke last year his entire right side of his body was paralyzed for about 2 months (his right arm still is). He could talk at all, yet he was very coherent, new exactly what everyone was talking about when we would hold conversations with him (one sided of course with a head nod in acknowledgment from him). Anyway, we were there to watch him learn how to walk again (with a cain and only able to feel half of his body), watched him relearn how to complete simple puzzles, relearn the order of the alphabet, and relearning just so many other everyday things that we take for granted.

Looking back, it really is remarkable how far he's come. The brain is an amazing thing that's for sure. If you get the chance go through some of her occupational and physical therapy with here. Pretty amazing stuff to say the least.

Keep your chin up and keep your mom motivated to recovery. After-all it's up to her and the big man upstairs just how far she will come.

Thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family (and sorry for rambling).
