Had a bit of an 'oops' come up. Over the last 2 weeks, I"ve been dealing with a rather excruciating migraine. Standard meds have done little to help. After several trips to the E.R., I suffered a fall and blow to my head, and briefly passed out. After extensive tests, MRIs and CAT scans, the doctors found a small thrombosis, or blood clot, in my brain.

I've had a stroke.

I was released from the hospital yesterday, and am now recovering at home. The doctors are treating the stroke aggressively, and working very hard to prevent a repeat occurrence. I have a great medical team, and my family has been wonderful through all of this.

I greatly appreciate all of your encouragement and support. It's going to take time for me to get back on my feet, and your interest and caring will be invaluable to me. I thank you for that!!

Hope all of you are doing well. Again, thank you. ;-)

Thanks for the update, Brietkat!

*Hawkeye eyes Breit's cane..."hmmm, that is quite kewl" :D

Congrats on the second AV hunt - can't think of a better way to exercise your little grey cells :)

Have to comment on your cats - we have four now (my daughter is a "rescuer" so I never know what to expect when I come home from work :) :) )

Our latest is also a "Missy" - but she is the whippersnapper in our family - bats at everyone, and expects all of the attention, because after all, she seems to say "I'm the baby, gotta love me"

Of course, her condition was soooooo awful when she arrived - thin unto death, flea-infested, quite pitiful - so it fills me with joy to see her so fat and sassy now. :D Our other three (older) cats have grown accustomed to her, it is almost as though they understand...

Breitkat, you are such an integral part of the Sleuth community, please continue to keep up updated on your progress, because we care for you :D

*Hawkeye playfully tickles 'his' own Missy, and returns to his growing caseload at the agency"

edit: keep "us" updated on your progress

Hawkeye wishes Ben would enable posters to "edit" their posts in this forum - quite a common feature on other MMO forums

Glad to here you are doing well and that cane is so much cooler then mine. The MRI is no big deal as long as you arent claustrophobic, but it can be boring , I slept through my last one. I am hoping to be around more and its nice to get the updates. Keep up the good work and get well soon!

I've been outta the loop, so to speak, for a long time. Or else I would have started praying for you sooner. But I'm sure prayers can be retroactive. ;-)I wish you a quick recovery and peaceful recuperation.

You hang tough, Breit. We'll be thinkin' 'boutcha!

Briet, my sweet friend, I am so sorry that you have been going through all of this. God has promised that he wouldn't put any anything upon us than we are able to bear and he said he'd make a way, when there doesn't seem a way. With God all things are possible, and you are so speacial to him, and all of us, I know you have been a great friend to me, and I am pulling for you. I have faith that everything will be just fine. With your positive attitude, you will make it. Please know you are in my prayers.

I haven’t logged on in a long time, but I'm glad I did today, and got to share my heart with you. Breit, keep in touch. Your old sleuth buddy, DaRu/Deb:)

So sorry to hear about your health problems, Breit. I rarely check the message boards and that's why I'm late with my wishing you well.

God bless you and may He help you to heal rapidly. As Da Ru said, with God all is possible.

Love,

Ken
