Meowx Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Wow, glad to hear you were able to get to the phone. And very glad to see no adverse after effects! Hope you're back in full swing! Quote
Paul Forwood Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Wishing you a full recovery, Gene. A friend of mine had a stroke a couple of years ago which left him paralized on his right side. Everyone encouraged him to pick up his guitar and forced a jam session on him every Thursday evening. He now plays quite regularly and most symptoms of his stroke have vanished. Take your time but keep focused on recovery. Cut out the crap and balance your life. Quote

Quite a scare. It's a relief that you've recovered a bit, but there's still stuff that has to be watched and dealt with. I hope they get it all figured out and you're back to industrial strength soon. Quote
