953 nut 55,155 #1 Posted June 7, 2023 While visiting my granddaughter in Florida last week i had a small vessel stroke, also called a subcortical stroke. The numbness has subsided from my left side but it will be a while before I'm able to horse around. I will miss seeing everyone at the big show but will be watching on line. 1 19 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,434 #11 Posted June 7, 2023 Dick, I hope this will pass quickly. I always worry about a stroke because I have AFib. That's why I take blood thinners, so now I can worry about bleeding rather than stroking. Get well soon, I'll miss you at the show. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,096 #12 Posted June 7, 2023 So sorry Richard. I was looking forward to chatting at the show. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,968 #13 Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) We will miss seeing you at the Big Show, Mr. Schmidt. Taking it one day at the time is the wise thing to do in this case . I'll see to it you are put on the prayer list at Church. I'm sure James Blankenship will do the same at his church. You should have my cell phone number, feel free to call anytime. Also, If you need James and I to bring anything back from the big show, just let us know. I will keep whatever it is at my house until we can get it to you ( just like that 953 several years ago ) Van Edited June 7, 2023 by Wheel-N-It 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,356 #14 Posted June 7, 2023 Taking care of yourself is the first order of business, Richard. You'll be missed at our dinner gatherings and at the show. May God speed your recovery. Hopefully this next year will pass quickly and we'll see each other again. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
