Fifty Plus (50+) - 53 struck down

Sorry that I haven't been on. Around the last of February I had a stroke. Just recently I had another. The worse part of it is that I can't ride my bike any more. My wife has been helping me a lot and I am slowly getting back somewhat on my feet. I can't see to type so my wife does it for me.
I'll be checking in from time to time.

Tex_Arcana, Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Brad

sorry to hear. get well soon.

I hope you recover well. And remember there is always the recumbent trike if you don't get all of your balance back.

I'm so sorry to learn of your strokes and wish you a speedy recovery. Once you are up and about find someone with a tandem to get you out.
Good luck.

Geez. I am sorry to hear about that. :(

I hope the cause is identified, and something can be done to get you back where you should be.

I am sorry to hear about your health problems. I am happy to learn that you have a wonderful wife to assist. I hope you recover and do not have another.

So sorry to hear about your condition, I sure hope you can recover.
+1 on the wonderful wife!
Get well.

Sorry to hear this. Hang in there and make the best of whatever is to come.

Keep at the recovery process. Find new activities that help you regain your strength and coordination and pay special attention to you wife - thank goodness they are there when we need them.

Our prayers are with you. I have a considerable amount of experience with family members suffering devastating injuries. PM me if you like. There is always hope and potential. Keep it up. Kudos for your wife.

So sorry to hear about that. I know there is so much more they can do now for stroke recovery. Do you get "stroke smart" it is a neat free magazine with a lot of inspirationial articles and success stories.

We get it because my 80 year old mother had s stroke 2 years ago and I picked up a copy at the hospital and found it online.

Best wishes for your recovery.

Good luck with the rehab. They've come a long way with technology and therapy to combat all kinds of sicknesses. Hang in there and give it your best and you'll beat it.

I'm sorry to hear the news. My best wishes for your recuperation and recovery.

Sorry to read this. Yes, you have a great wife and please check in and let us know how you're recovering.

You have a personal injury with a family impact. Although not physical members of the family we are a concerned part. Keep in touch. We are with you and your wife as you meet the challenge.

Hang in there, Tex...

I'll pray for you, Tex. Hang in there.

Best wishes for a full recovery...

We bike riders are a tough lot. You'll be back. And thanks for thinking of BF 50+ when you've got plenty else on your mind.

Tex, thanks for updating us. Heal fast, and best wishes --

My hope is for a great recovery from an honorary Texan(10 years in Seabrook, TX).

A thought on recovery and cycling. Like the story of the patients with Parkisons and cycling, any one know if even pedaling in a stationary trainer has been used to speed stroke recovery? Seems like a good way to get some motion back but ask the doc first.

Best wishes for a good recovery.

Tex-I hate to hear your misfortune but it's great to hear your wife is so supportive. Here's hoping for continued improvement.

Best wishes for a strong recovery.

We bike riders are a tough lot. You'll be back. And thanks for thinking of BF 50+ when you've got plenty else on your mind.

You will find some way of getting back. My neighbour had a stroke about 10 years ago and he went blind. His hobby was "Green Bowling" and he had to give it up---for a year. He still had the enthusiasm- and the skill so as soon as he was fit- Out came the bowls and the Club got him back. OK- He needed a few sighting bowls and a spotter but he was back.

That idea of a Tandem--And I know I keep recommending them as I ride one- Locally there is a Tandem club for disabled. I get called on occasionally to take a disabled rider out for one of their organised rallies. Mobility and balance is not a problem when they are on the bike. Neither is lack of power so think about that one.

Tex, not much I can say that hasn't been said already, but I sure wish you a speedy recovery and thank goodness for good life partners. Get well soon...

Keep on Healing.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you recover quickly, though I admit I know nothing about strokes.

Do you know what caused it, or are strokes things that just happen for no apparent reason?

Regardless, best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Good luck, bro. Keep us informed about your recovery.

Hang in and best wishes, keep the faith!

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement. They are very much appreciated. I will be back riding again. My wife won't have it any other way. She knows how much riding means to me.
I'll try to be on if I can. Once again, all of you have made my day. Thank you.

Best wishes and hoping for a full recovery!

Tex, I am so sorry I missed your phone call! I just listened to your voice mail, and that prompted me to look up your recent posts, and now I have found this thread. Prayer already said for your recovery, of course. Please do try calling again! Yes, I am willing to help you get to your therapy.

Have a speedy recovery. Bless your wife in these hard times. I hope to see you along the bayou in the near future.

Damn Tex!

So very sorry to hear about your strokes.
I will keep a good thought for your recovery.

Jeff, still fat

Praying for you Tex. Stay strong and positive and get back on that bike.

Tex, your wife is wise, and you are lucky to have her, and lucky to still be here. Amplify your blessings, and best of luck in your recovery.

Get better. I hope you recover fully.
