Hopefully your grandpa will be okay. Mine had a stroke a few years back. He's been in a wheelchair ever since, and it took him a long time to get to where he can speak clearly again. He recovered fairly well though, hopefully your grandpa can too.

man, i dunno... hes in pretty bad shape. cant really speak too well. i went and saw him today and watching him get frustrated while trying to talk to me was quite depressing. im in a bad state right now. the doctors still seem pretty confident he will come out of it ok, but damn it sucks seeing him like this. if i could trade him places i would do so in a heartbeat.

I have the Strokes' second album
Did anyone else get it for Reptilia and/or 12:51?
I did it, and it was a minor mistake

My grandpa couldn't really speak at all, at first. But now he just has a very slight impediment. It's still easy to carry on a conversation.
It's amazing how the brain can recover after that sort of thing.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa. He has my best wishes for a full recovery. I know how you're feeling right now and it's very rough. Try and chill out the best you can.
Maybe take a shower, or go for a walk to clear your head a bit?

That sucks man. I hope he is ok. My grndpa has 3 strokes and is still able to function normally. Can't keep that old bastard out of his garden. Hopefully it will be the same case for your gramps.

ya like i said, hes a tough old bastard. this will be his third stroke, the first ive actually whitnesed first had though. the part thats really getting me down though is we were planning a fishing trip this weekend. the old man hasnt been out of the house in so long, and he was realy looking foward to it. then this shit happens.
i go visit him and i dont really know what to say. so i sit. he trys to talk, gets frustrated when all that comes out is garble. i tell him its ok, and that when he gets out we will go fishing. the look i see in his eyes.....its not good. i think hes giving up. i dont want him to give up just yet. that may be a bit selfish, but i want to take him out to the forest one more time. to be able to look up at the sky and actually see the stars.
he is really old, and has been just sitting around waiting to die ever since his wife went a few years ago. i cant blame him, but damn it. hes ready to go, but i dont think im ready to watch just yet.
