kyburgGot a text from Jim earlier today - his boss, the *other* lead tech?
Has had a massive, hemorrhagic stroke and is in ICU.
Yes, he just went to the funeral for the other one less than three weeks ago, who died of liver failure post Hep-C/liver transplant.
Neither of these men are retirement age, far from it.
Light the good stuff. Leave the good sake out for Coyote. Say a prayer.
It is what it is, and all that.
(My Mom? Still alive, still in the hospital. But improving. Her nurse that I spoke to at lunch? Tells me she has this one - 'she's one of us, and you know what that means.' Oh hell to the yes I do. We. Won't. Mess. Gotcha.)
I am sobbing inside for Jim. This is going to absolutely gut him.

Date: 2011-11-11 06:26 am (UTC)About 20% come out of hemorrhagic strokes just fine, fwiw. I've had two coworkers who did. My late husband wasn't one of the lucky ones, though. (They always put hemorrhagic stroke patients in the ICU that I've heard, even the people who were fine. It's just a high-skill and high-monitoring environment.)
