I got text yesterday morning from Pat Hall’s wife that was not good news. Pat Hall AKA I.B. Washincars had a severe stroke early yesterday morning and is currently in the hospital. Everyone please keep the Hall family in your thoughts and prayers. I’ll post more when I find out more information.

Well, after 8 days in the hospital and rehab I'm out and on the mend. I got off pretty light, with a little right side weakness and slurred speech. Improving daily, but typing is hard, so probably won't post much for while. Thanks for thinking about me.

Great to hear from you I.B. Your typing is way better than mine!

But it's good you had the ten minutes and were able to do it.
Hang in there! Thoughts and Prayers going your way.

That's a heavy comment.
My dad had a stroke that affected his right side and speech center a while back. Dad spoke 3 languages and was mixing his words up so badly we couldn't understand him and his right side was weak and couldn't write. The second night he was in the hospital he returned to his room after an MRI scan pretty agitated. So I sat down with a pencil and paper and for the next 45 min we struggled to get 2 words together "scan scary." Within seconds of that understanding, they came back in and said they had to do another MRI. His eyes were as big as ostrich eggs when they rolled him out. Poor dad. Lol.
He made a full recovery and we wish the same for you.
