Westley Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Good to hear that you are on the mend and hopefully no side effects. I suffered the same thing in 2003, it left me partially deaf in my left ear, and my left eye and left side of my face tend to droop under stress or cold weather. 12 months later and the same thing occurred during the night, got up next morning and fell flat on my face, that one left me totally deaf in my right ear. I am back shooting a full weight 12 bore, albeit with 24 gram loads. Just keep taking the tablets and I am sure you will be back to full strength in no time. All the best. W.

Alpha Mule Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have smashed the 'soft tissue' in both shoulders, Had 3 discs chopped in my spine (lost 2.5"), Left knee is permanenlyt dislocated, had an inch of cartilage removed from my right knee a few years back after I ripped it and various other things that slow me down. Not a wi**y waggling contest by any means: I just wish I'd had warnings I could heed. Enjoy your time and don't take too many prisoners. Life and health are short lived luxuries.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Well I got dragged out rabbit shooting last night, saw a load of local wildlife too. Dropped the paunched rabbits round to a neighbour, another great weekend completed. Edited October 16, 2017 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I have spent today at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk watching the F22 Raptors and F15 Eagles and then to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford looking around all the hangars. Great to have friends and neighbours who have rallied round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolution380 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Sorry to hear this! How are you physically? You appear to have bounced back remarkably! All the best with the rehabilitation process, not a nice thing at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 E 380 Basically I suffered a stroke on the 1st of October and it was a warning shot, I am taking 2 new drugs and living a healthier lifestyle and just getting on with things. I have an appointment with the nurse at work for the return to work discussion on the 31st of October and we will see what she says. It was not nice at all but I wont let it beat me.

jam1e Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 All the best to you and your recovery.... My father died of a stroke at the age of 39, i'm now 48, and i do wonder now and then when my time will come. Not in a morbid way, just curiosity really...... atb James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Not wishing to be morbid, but if you do feel that you are at risk, see your GP (I know that can be a challenge in itself!) and make sure that you have the right blood pressure. This is a very big risk factor in strokes, and in most cases can be treated quite easily (I take treatment for it daily to keep the levels correct). High blood pressure doesn't usually have symptoms, so you will only find out by having it measured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
