pir8fan was admitted yesterday for suspected series of small strokes at the base of his brain. He has undergone some testing but is awaiting on a brain scan to confirm their suspicions. The evidence is pretty strong though. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Will update when he finds out more information.

UPDATE 1/11/2018 3:15PM

Mri was done and it found evidence of an old stroke. No New ones!!! They are going to bring in a neurologist and examine the heart through an Echocardiogram for any drops in the heart rate that could be part of the problem. He is feeling OK, just a little light headed but still joking around. He said " they will not let me have bacon!!"

UPDATE 1/12/2018 3:48 pm

Tommy is being sent home from the hospital. He said, " Four days in the hospital and they have told me some thing's that it is not! Follow up with neurologist! Four days and I am back where I started!"

I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
