Well I woke up last Sunday morning the 26th shot day and I could not move.I could not stand up or focus my eyes on anything.
We went to the hospital and I had had brain stem stroke.
I am home this evening and hoping the swelling stays down and no further damage.

It is believed to have been caused by the interferon
I will add more later when I am Not so damm dizzy.

Not good. I hope that everything works out for you.

Geez Michael,
One more item to deal with?
You've handled everything that came your way so far, you'll handle this, too. Sorry for the added hassle, but please stay close, okay?

Hang in there. What a bummer. Sorry you are having to deal with this too.

Please let me add my wishes for this to pass quickly! Hopefully this will only end up being a "bump" for you.

I'm sending a prayer your way right now Michael!!

I really hope that things improve for you. Please let us know as soon as you find out!

well thank's to all of you,You have encouraged healing.
I am home and past the danger zone of getting worse.
I am a little goofy,since my head just blew up,
and I walk like i'm drunk,but I have some past experience in doing that so i guess it's all good.
No one told me ther'ed be days like these,
strange days indeed.
Back on my feet
Michael

gerald

I've been thinking of you, too. I hope you are feeling better, or at least a little better, right now. Peace and Love, Fran

Hope youre feeling better I've been praying for you

Hope everyday shows improvement..progress......Matt

i have been out of touch. glad that you are back on your feet! be well! my prayers are with you!

Glad your doing better Michael!!

We were all quite worried there! At least knowing you are recovering is good news. Here's to hoping you get better real quick and that somehow these things that happen ( that we cannot fathom to understand) will somehow bring forth something good out of it. Don't ask me how.......but like you said, "Strange days indeed"!!

Maybe something really unusual will come about as a result of this that will bring a blessing. That's what I always try and tell myself when something bad happens.
Anyway......BEST WISHES MY FRIEND!!!

Micheal, I am sorry to hear about your current
health problems, Just take it easy, Bro and stay
away from the stress ! I hope you are doing better
now, and the recovery is swift !
Best wishes to you and yours !
Your old Hippy/deadhead Friend,

Thanks to everyone,
I never realized the strengh so much support and understanding can bring.

Well I grabbed my walking stick and got out of the house today.Went to the grocery store and did well.Went up and down every aisle.

And no,I don't have a handicap sticker either.
One might be nice though.
I hope for safer,better tx for all in the near future.

Come on, this is starting to piss even me off.
And I never get mad,not very often,OK sometimes.
Thanks everyone,
Michael

Grocery shopping is a good thing! Hope you got lots of ice cream! Glad to hear you're doing better Michael.

Peace
