Chuck Slusarczyk

[Ron Wanttaja]

Boy, it's been a rough couple of months for longtime netters. Got word
that Chuck Slusarczyk is in the hospital with a stroke. Sounds like
he's doing pretty good... "keeping the staff in stitches" was the term used.

As Ron said the initial news about Chuck was pretty scary. It seems
that he was down for only about 24 hours however to be safe they kept
him in ICU for about a week. He answered the phone in his room the
other day as "hello,Bob's pizza" so he is on the mend. From what I
understand about strokes he had about as minor a stroke as one can
have. Then again no stroke is minor.

For what it's worth, my ex had a stroke like that and only a couple
years later it was nearly indiscernible that she had one. However 20
years later she is still a little weak on one side.

Tell him to demand his right to give the nurses sponge baths and give
him my best.

Dear Tony & crew,

That is very true.

I recently had a stroke and I am still weak on one side.
Unfortunately, it is the TOP side...

-R.S. Hoover ...who is organizing an Air Drop to get some Old Bore
Cleaner to Chuck disguised as mouth wash. (Yeah, I know. Put it in a
Coke can. Tried that. Ate through the can.)

Some how I doubt that he has not already tried that and may have
succeeded. You know Chuck, he will try to take everything lying down.

I would have assumed he'd offer to give free breast exams seeing as
he's not busy at this time.

If it was me, the cute little blond nurse would accept, the shift would
change, and I'd end up with big, fat, hairy male nurses.

She really was a cute blond nurse who came into my room and said she
needed to pull my gown up. I asked where were you 50 years ago? That
was when she unrolled the catheter.

With a cervical collar, I couldn't even look down.

Not much better, awhile back I had the pleasure of an inflated
genuine USAF issued foley catheter pop out. I'll omit the description of
the effects. Let's just say there are very few people upon whom I'd wish
the experience

Yeow! Somebody must have really yanked your chain. I didn't even think
that was possible. For those who may not know___the first thing that

This was back in the day when male techs did males and females did
females. The female tech came out and told me the guy that was supposed
to do my procedure was on leave. I didn't want to put it off so I asked
if she had ever done the procedure a male. I should have changed my mind
when she said no. To make the story as short as possible she hadn't got
it in far enough before inflating the bulb so when she started injecting
the dye......

Well a guy I know was working as an orderly in a hospital and received word
to bring his cleaning gear and a ladder to wing 5 room 52. He said he had
never needed a ladder before but he took one anyway. When he got to the
room the nurses were having a hard time to avoid laughing. It seems some
elderly lady was in because of extreme constipation and had been given large
doses of a laxative which didn't do much good. However, she dropped her
glasses and bent over to fetch them, well the ladder was needed because of
the requirement posed by the condition of the ceiling. While it seems
impossible, it was told by THE honest ex-orderly.

Bob,

Use the old glass Lavoris mouthwash bottles. The bore cleaner
generally comes out a bit on the red side anyway, so it will pass!
Don't let him have any muzzleloader though! Ask Barnyard Bob
about that.

As Ron said the initial news about Chuck was pretty scary. It seems
that he was down for only about 24 hours however to be safe they kept
him in ICU for about a week. He answered the phone in his room the
other day as "hello,Bob's pizza" so he is on the mend. From what I
understand about strokes he had about as minor a stroke as one can
have. Then again no stroke is minor.

Reminds me of when I had my stroke two years ago in April.
The guy in the other bed had back surgery and like many his plumbing
sorta clogged up and they wouldn't let him go home until he could use
the can. So what was supposed to be his last day there I think they
gave him every chemical known to man except straight phenophalen, but
hours passed without even passing gas. So at lunch time I jokingly
suggested "prune juice". The nurse said that's a great idea and he
though he'd give it a try.

So they dumped a big glass of prune juice, often known as "Nature's
Dynamite" on top of all those chemicals he'd already taken. Bout an
hour later I heard him remark, "I think maybe it's gonna work" and
asked his wife to "Help me out of bed...What are you doing, I think
you better hurry. Ohhhhh...Gawd!"... They didn't need the step
ladder, but darn near needed to hose down the other side of the room.

I lost my whole left side, but was never in ICU.

I used "Tony's bar and grill". I was informed "Tillie's whore house"
was not acceptable.

There are several types of stroke with one caused by a ruptured blood
vessel (aneurysm) and the other by a clog (either clot or plaque)
Then there is the TIA or Transient Ischemic Attack which is far more
common than most realize. About 1% of the white, male population has
had one by the time they reach adult hood. With some minorities it's
as high as 10%. These are typically some sort of transient blockage
moving through an area.

I was on Oxygen within 5 to 6 minutes of the first symptoms and within
several hours I was starting to get some movement back in my fingers
and toes on the left side. I never did lose consciousness. They
called it a TIA and sent me home after about 5 to 6 hours. When I
woke after a two hour nap my whole left side was gone. Had they kept
me on O2 for a few more hours I'd probably have been fine, but that is
pure speculation.

Although as you say, none are minor, I think the one caused by an
aneurysm is far more dangerous and more likely to repeat. Of course
if your pipes are clogged with plaque that's not a good sign either.
Mine were so clean they ran a second check to make sure.

It's strange and scary to sit there and watch as parts of your body
start shutting down to the point where you no longer have any control
over them. When a hand seems to weigh 20 pounds and a foot weighs 50,
it's a strange feeling. Yesterday you could type 60 to 70 WPM and now
your fingers don't respond regardless of how hard you try can be quite
scary.

Me? Almost two years later the only sign is a slight limp when my leg
gets tired, although my left foot feels like the Novocain shot hasn't
completely worn off. Balance is back and far better than most people
my age. I did have to learn how to walk again and had about 3 to 4
months of PT on top of that. PT is affectionately known as "pain and
torture" by its practitioners. <:-))

Of course the guys at the airport told me that if I needed a phyc eval
they all testify I hadn't changed a bit. Strangely, they all said
that with a funny looking grin.

I have been advised "city morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em" is also
improper as were "One Hung Lo's Chinese restaurant and pet store" and
"Humana surgical clinic and deli supply." I suppose you could just
answer "you have the wrong number" and hang up.
