Thanks guys for keeping my pops in your prayers. He has recovered physically from his stroke about 80%. He washes the dishes and cuts the grass.
Cognition is slow going though. But its cool because it is going. He does puzzles so he can keep his mind sharp. He has done 2 750 piece puzzles and 2 1000pc puzzles.
But here is the good news. Dad was accepted into this cool clinical trial up in Boston. The trial is 6 months so my parents packed up and moved to Brookline MA this weekend.
It was expensive as hell but its well worth. Though the treatment is free.. They had to pay to move to boston and live there. The hospital is in brookline and its close enough for my father to walk.
The level of care is awesome though. He will get speech therapy everyday for an hour and a half.. for free..
As well as numerous MRI's on his brain. Those in the medical field know how much those cost.
Well thats the update.. I get PMs from many of my getbig brothers and sisters and i thank yous all....

I know Option D has been worried about this for some time. It looks like there is a good amount of light at the end of the tunnel. I hope the transition out east was smooth and all goes well with the recovery.

Glad to hear he`s doing so good..........hoping for a full recovery.

Nothing personal sweetie. But you couldn't handle Option D's father if he wanted you for "something".
In all seriousness though hopefully he recovers 100% ! :)

Can I give you some names so you can add them to your prayer list as well? Do you have that list automated? If not I
can give you a good script that can do that, it also has flood control so that you will not get cut off by the heaven's
admins due to spam.
Let me know.

Sorry to hear man! I hope they come out with some new technology soon to help stroke patients recover better and faster. I see a lot of them throughout the day at work. Some of them get it so bad they can barely do anything by themselves again. It's a really terrible sad thing to see. It can happen so quick to it scares the shit out of me.

Glad to hear your dad is doing better... I hope for a speedy recovery for him.

But either way, i think he is healthier now (vitals ) than before the stroke.

-
Glad to hear the progress report. Will continue to pray.

Thanks a lot man. I know what you are saying about the activities of victims that suffered strokes. Some just give up. I know my dad wanted to a time or two because he felt helpless. But he has a great attitude, and now its full throttle
-
Good luck with your dad and great idea moving back to Mass , you wont find better hospitals on this planet.
Thanks a lot bro. You are telling the truth there bro. The hospitals there are always ranked among the greatest. And my dad went earlier this month for baseline testing and we could still tell he made some leaps in terms of improvment.. and that was just 1 week. To think that he has a 6 months of intense rehab and therapy, man im excited

Some threads leave no room for flaming, dark humour or "ungaying". Damn! Best wishes for the recovery (lost my dad a few years ago to cancer so I know how it feels).

It's just when someone needs our help in the way of thoughts and/or prayers on here, there's always some athiest ready to chime in and start something. They can start another thread for it on the religous board.....selfish bastards.

If only you didn't highjack every single thread that gives you the opportunity to plaster your biggotry, that wouldn't happen. Did you see any "atheist" post before you chimed in? Who acted selfishly here?

Of course not. You hate it because I'm not liberal and you hate because of my faith. You clowns act like I'm the only conservative Chrisitan on here.

What was I saying? How many times do you use "I"? It's all about you. Re-read the posts before your first one. You made it about your faith while others simply stuck to sending their best hopes of recovery to Option D's dad. Do you get it?
-
Mal, there is no more K, the new gym is right up the street and way more lenient in letting us train strongman.
We're actually looking into getting sanctioned by NAS.
-
All the best for your Dad's recovery, BigMal.
-
Great news!

Hope you guys get to spend some good time together., Mal.
