Oh no! He's so young, isn't he? I thought he was like my age!
Tim certainly has been very generous in his projects for others lately; something I noticed since the hurricane Katrina, though probably he was always this way.
I'll toss him in the "prayer pot" along with John and the several others I've got. Hope it turns out to be extremely minor with no lasting repercussions.

I just spoke to Tim. He is in the emergency room awaiting admissions and a room. He is going to be admitted for futher tests and evaluations. He is doing sort of ok. Much of the numbness on his left side is gone, yet some remains on the left side of his face and head. He is going to call me back when he gets a room number. He did not sound good, but that is of course no surprise.
Edit - I'm on the phone with Tim right now. He is in room 320 at NEA Medical Center in Jonesboro. If anyone want to call he said that'd be ok. His cell is 870-627-0594. They are going to do an MRI and coroid (sp) test tomorrow. He is on Plavix now.
I visited with him yesterday shortly after he returned from the ER. He was pretty much in demarol haze so I really did not get an idea of how he was doing but it's clear that something is wrong.
Tim wanted me to let you guys know that he will be unable to make the trip to So. Ill to do the raffle and that he will be away from his computer so any updates to the Bachar site will not be made until he gets out of the hospital. Again, no surprise.
I asked him if I could do anything for him or Kathy and he said to bring him a pizza. He hasn't eaten since breakfast and is starved. I hope that's a good sign. (I would sneak a pizza to him but he is about a hundred miles away) Otherwise, he said no.
Keep him in your prayers if that's your thing, in your thoughts and well wishes if that's more your style. It's been kinda rough for the ol boy lately.

Tim, you've been through a lot the past few years, your heart is huge, and your faith unwavering. I trust you'll see this through as well. Love to you and Kathy.

here's hoping ya get well man, thanks for all the advice amongst the noise at RC.com.
RC.com finding new ways to hurt people (posted earlier today)
"Hahaha! A classic rc.com thread: noob asks for advice which he probably wouldn't follow anyway; numbnut responses advocating quicklinks; the one guy who gives constructive advice gets the "holier than thou" label.
Tgreene -- if I were you, I'd throw in the towel. Trying to help this guy is just going to make your migraine worse! Rolling Eyes

Cathy brought my laptop to me this morning, so I wouldn't completely lose my mind at the hospital... Im sniping a weak wireless signal from across the street!
I've had 3 CT-Scans and undergo an MRI and some type of Carotid Ultrasound this morning, before seeing a Nuero Brain specialist.
I actually had a TIA while in the CT, but it didn't catch it or show anything.
Currently, I'm pretty much in a constant state of numbness and with a "displaced" feeling...

Tim,
Just last week we talked for an hour about the miracles given us by our Lord. I'm sending my prayers, asking for another miracle to be given you.
May God's light shine down upon you, and show you the way. Best wishes for a complete recovery.

Tim,
Just got back from the Creek and heard the terrible news. Man, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Remember, the angels are on our side.

Tim - Sorry to hear about this. At least you're in the right place if something more happens. I hope they can figure this out for you soon. Godspeed with your recovery - my thoughts are with you bro.

I had a really shitty lan connection earlier, so my nurse talked the IP guys into "hooking me up" on the down low.... ;-)
I've had the MRI and Arterial Sonogram this morning, but still have to undergo an EEG... I've yet to see a doctor today, and honestly have no idea how long I'll be here.
I'm still having waves of numbness sweeping my body , and as always, it's much more profound on thee left side.. The left side of my face feels like I've been shot up with Lidocaine, and also like it's very puffy and swollen and sliding down, but it's still there... just as ugly as it was before.
At least I have a solid web connection now.

They still can't figure it out, and have actually just mentioned the possibility of MS...
This is getting scarier and more f*#ked up by the minute!

"Not knowing" is understandably very scary, Tim. It's always the most difficult part when life is giving us something unexpected. Don't let the fear overwhelm you - Try to stay in the present, thinking of all the good that is in your life right now.
When you start to get the scared feelings, and getting "what if?" scenarios playing in your head - turn them off life they're a bad radio show! I know it is hard, but those thoughts aren't real and they aren't helpful to you; they suck the energy you do have away, leaving you tired and with less resources to deal with what is on your plate(which is a loving, caring wife, plenty of friends, lots of desperate n00bs at rc.com(hahaha) and a host of things personal to you).
I hope my post doesn't come off as flippant - believe me, I DO understand the sensations of overwhelming fear. I just have found that there actually are psychic/physical/emotional exercises we can employ to "treat" that mofo. Know that there are plenty of people keeping you in their minds right now, and you aren't alone. When you get scared, imagine the people who are typing posts to your thread here, surrounding you and taking care of you emotionally.
