..Hi gang-trying to catch up. Just heard one of my guys here at work had a stroke and has to have heart surgery to fix it. He's younger than me and hired on same day I was. We know each other from welding school. I am in shock. He was out getting back surgery-fusion. I just sent the message to Jon. Jon trained him on many of the things in the QC department. Jon's going to be so upset. I just can't believe it! my coworker has a young son and they have been trying for another baby. I think his son is 4 now? or 5? I loose track-the years go by so fast. I have known my coworker since 2002. I remember when he lost his mother to skin cancer, he was in his 20s, she was 42. That was so hard for him...he's got a dysfunctional family like many of us.
I hope he will be ok-he sent a text to one of the gals here-she came over and showed me the text. I am in shock....
AWM knew a man once, three pack a day smoker for almost sixty years, who stopped overnight. How? He had a stroke, forgot he ever smoked, and no one told him.You may need to update Adobe Flash Player in your browser.
I would never want to work at a place like that. They actually believe that someone who is looking for work should suspend the entire search for their benefit on the off chance that they may want to hire her in two months?! I don't think so! Why on earth should you display that kind of loyalty to them when they've made no commitment to hire you?! They certainly wouldn't agree not to interview other job candidates until they've made a decision whether or not to hire you. What's sauce for the goose...
Any company with an attitude of this kind probably thinks that they also have a right to control their employees personal lives.
When I try to insert the link, as a link, it still displays as a video. If I don't tell the site that it's a link, the site still detects that and posts it as a video. So, here it is in plain text. Stick an https colon slash slash www dot in front of it and then copy and paste the entire address into the address field of your browser: facebook.com/1549150108485598/videos/1747973151936625/
You get the address by right-clicking on the video, asking it to display the URL of the video, and then copying and pasting.
@foxxycat, in 2001 my-mother-the-physical-therapist and I went on a long car trip together just after a friend of mine at church, Steve, had a very bad stroke. I was keeping in touch with people in Colorado during the trip so I heard when a doctor informed Steve's wife that there was a chance that Steve would never have meaningful speech again. When I told my mother about it she told me that I had to get in touch with the Steve's wife and tell her not to believe this doctor; it was much too soon for this kind of prognosis, healing continues for months after a stroke. And when I told my Steve's wife this she said "Oh yes. I already knew that the doctor was just covering his a$$. Steve already had meaningful speech. Of course, mostly he was saying , but it was definitely meaningful."
We're still finding out a lot of things about the brain that we never knew before, including the information that the brain can sometimes heal itself -- regenerate damaged cells (which they used to say was impossible), and that when it can't do things the usual way it can frequently find other ways to accomplish the same thing, routing tasks through different parts of the brain. I'm not saying that a stroke is inconsequential; I'm saying that it's not the end of the world for the patient and his family.

I'll have RB look at it this Sunday, when he's off work.I was going to try and find the original website, but you're right, it could be adobe flash needs to be updated. If so, then the original website would have the same problem.
tallyollyopia Make sure you don't need any other updates if you update flash. One time I updated flash and Forge of Empires' graphics were fuzzy looking. It turned out I needed to update flash, firefox and my video driver. They were working well together but updating one messed up their synchronization which is why I had fuzzy graphics until I updated everything.
My late daughter who had a severe heart defect had three different strokes when she was in her early 30s. The first one was very slight and neither one of us knew anything about strokes, I called her cardiologist the next day to inquire about symptoms and was told she most like had had a stroke and if it happened again to take her to the ER immediately or call 911. The second one took her hearing for about a week, it then returned. The third one affected her right side, she had a hard time getting a spoon or fork to her mouth, her hand was waving all over the place. Also her right foot would turn in when she walked. This all went away over the next few weeks although when she was tired her foot would still try to turn inwards. When I inquired, because I had thought whatever went wrong from a stroke was permanent, I was told it depended on the age of the patient and how determined that patient was to get back to normal and that recovery can last as long as a year before the patient has reached a permanent stage. Her heart finally gave out ca. 5 years later when she passed in her sleep. She had outlived all expectations by 36 years. That was almost 13 years go.
The majority of the medical community seems to suffer from what I call "Box Syndrome", where every illness and condition has to fit into a neatly labeled box and anything that doesn't fit in the box (age of patient, for example) means that can't be the condition.I don't understand why the medical field doesn't just accept it. I had 3 MTS by the time I was 40 and I don't have a heart condition. It just happens sometimes.
Anyone else have nuclear war on the brain? I feel like it's constantly in the back of my mind, and I can't dislodge it. This is *definitely* not helping my depression, and it's seriously starting to feel like I'm just going through the motions with everything to no purpose.
I'll say what AWM said to the kindergarten and first grade art teachers who complained about my color schemes: art is subjective. One man's masterpiece is another's crayon squiggle.He only said it to me. Maybe I shouldn't have said it to you guys.
