I am delighted to share with you the fact that my partner, Victor (who had a stroke 9 days ago) is doing well --- beyond anyones expectation!!  He remains in "acute care" and is waiting for a bed to come up at the local physical rehabilitation center.
     We thnk you all for your incredible support --- you indeed have given both of us strength to move forward!!!

I'm pleased to hear Victor is making good progress.  This is a fantastic site for support, we can all rely on others to support us when we are troubled.

Good news Everlasting. Brains (and people) are so complex that one can really predict just how far a recovery will go. I hope Victor continues to exceed anyone's expectations in his recovery. Always believe.

Everlasting, that is fantastic news I wish you both well. It is so scary when some thing like this happens. I remember last year, my husband was working part time and he came home and said he didn't feel well, I was fussing and he said "just give me a cup of tea and a paracetamol" He went to bed and I thought this is not right,all the signs were there, so I called an ambulance, he was only having a heart attack, it scared the shi** out of me. He also made a recovery with heart surgery, but what a scarey time, so I feel for you. Thank goodness all is well.

That was a cheerful start to my morning :thumbup;  So glad to hear that Victor is on the way to recovery.  Please assure him of the caring thoughts and prayers of his IHD family (from all parts of the earth)
