[Ken Hayes]

WELL FFS ( for f--ks sake)

Well, it happened........had a stroke Sunday night. Had the same symptoms as Tuesday but they were lasting longer so Judy called 911.......guys went Hi Mr. Hayes (not good when EMT's know your name) and off we went. On the way there they said my BP was 244.......dont think it really was cuz at the hospital it was 190.

They did a MRI and more tests but couldnt nail down what caused it. Anyways befor being released my Doctor said I DID have a full blown Stroke and I was very lucky that there were no lasting effects from it. He put me on 3 meds and said I'll see you in a week.


The MRI showed some very old damage to the right side of the brain and the only time I had any damage to the head was in 68 when I hit the top of the windshield frame in a accident. Thats the only thing I can think of.

Came home around 4:30, took a shower, got dressed. Judy said lets go out to eat if your up to it? Hell yeah, I can handle it. Looked around for something I had in the hospital and Judy said she put it in the drawer in the desk at the hospital. Damn, I forgot it there. Good thing the hospital is only 2 miles from the house. Went back up on the 2nd floor and was approaching the Nurses station. Really sharp blonde nurse looks at me, raises her hand and says "Hey, weren't you in here a little while ago?" I said that was my twin brother and he had a stroke........she says oh, you look just like him.......I said that's because we are twins.........oh yeah. The other nurse that was my nurse says "Hi Ken"...I smiled. My nurses aid was a 28 year old fox who said, you come back to ask me out........jokingly. Said I left something in the desk........so she looked, is this it? Yep, aren't you glad we don't clean the rooms....jokingly. Then I went to dinner.

I feel pretty good but I'm getting tired of scaring myself and Judy.
