    Had a mild stroke Saturday afternoon at about 1330.

    All this crap is killing me. I had a mild stroke while trying to forget about all this crap by working out back in the back yard.

    Left side of my top lip got a little numb, and felt wierd.
    Then the bottom part got numb.
    Then my whole left arm got numb.

    Then I got light headed and had to lay down on the ground.

    Next thing you know I am in the ER.

    Very weak all day Sunday and today.
    Stayed all day in my easy chair.

    ...thinking crazy, but logical thoughts.

    What quality of life do I have if my back pain keeps me from living it.

    I have some back surgery injections scheduled for the 4th and 23rd.
    Something too complicated for me to remember.


    If I can't go out and enjoy my homestyead, then why bother.

    They jilled my little friend. qality has leftt th building.

    I don't like what I'm reading between the lines here. Marmalade was an elderly cat. He was 17 and often at that age they develop kidney disease. The symptoms of kidney disease include rapid weight loss, a decrease in appetite, lethargy and trouble urinating. If that was happening, there would have been little chance of changing the inevitable, short of dialysis and that would have given him a very poor quality of life.

    You still have Bunny who depends on you and has also lost his friend. He needs you.

    Don't give up my friend.

    stroke research has come a long way over the past ten years. While it may be bad, you do have a good chance to fully recover.

    Sorry to hear about that RS. Just be patient. Strokes can be frustrating but most people fully recover and continue to live great lives. But since you don't need extra stress, maybe lose focus on vet revenge.

    Get well.

    Strength, my friend.

    Might be frustrating right now, but you can deal with it and move past it. Bunny needs your loving now more then ever, and we on here need your levelheadedness.
