During the past two years I've seemed to gas-out a lot. I've been very ill for at least two months. One doctor said I had a stroke in my sleep. Another said I did not but had some type of seizure. I went to bed feeling ok one night and the next morning I could not make my body move. As one doctor said there are things about the brain that we just don't understand. It has taken me two months to be able to hold a thought. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. I still have problems spelling. It was so bad that not only could I not spell "the" I could not carry on a conversation with my wife. One Saturday I had to get out a program for a company. It was a simple one that should not have taken me more than 2 hours tops. Instead it took me the entire day as I just could not form my thought line.
Every test known has been run on me and I'm told the results are that of a 50 year old man and not one of 61 years old man.
I will tell you this that this has been a life changing experience for me. You just never know.

Hang in there Raye. Remember the Lord will never give you anything that you can't handle!!

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time. The one good thing about the brain is it's ability to heal itself. The new brain sciences are making leaps and bounds in this field. We work with some of the best Neuro Scientists in the world. Check out the book The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doige. Take care Raye we are all pulling for you.
Ross
Sorry to hear you are still battling this illness. As mentioned, medical science is advancing at a rapid rate. I keep you in my thoughts.
Olds,
You have been one of the back bones of this site for years and I know that you have helped many people through your compassion.
I thank you for this. Thanks for your honesty and I am sure that you will have the prays and blessings from many of the forum members including myself.
May God bless you, Brad
Hope ya get back to 100% Olds...
Until they figure it out, you might try to get all the nutrients you can every day...
Sometimes "miracle foods" are better than "miracle drugs"
Could be just one little thing that fights the problem.
Lots of info here... http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php (http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php)

Hang in there.
Hang in there, Olds. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Raye, I do hope you get back on your feet soon. My wife is totally into this herbal medicine thing, and I'm not too sure of it's value. The good thing about it is that nothing is harmful in any way. With that green thumb of yours, you could grow any of it quickly. My best to you.
Raye --I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. I was just thinking i havent seen anythingmuch from you lately and was wondering... You keep your head up and know you have lots of friends thinking good thoughts about your recovery.

Get better Raye...we've had our differences but who cares about that...I don't...your health is more important then anything....you'll be back...I know it...
Take Care of Yourself...
Tracy and Bob

Take Care,

Thanks all for the good thoughts...
Just went through another set of tests...again and they cannot figure out what happened.
Strange to say the least.
Olds

Best wishes Raye!
Olds, Kimmie and I are praying for your quick recovery.
I know what it's like to be down and not know the end results, just keep you head up and don't let it get you down.
Best to you and your family,
TMB & Kimmie
My thoughts and prayers are with you
Hey Raye
I know it has been a while since we have been in touch and I also know that we come from two completely different backgrounds but I would like to share a small story with you and the rest of the bunch out there.
When I was younger (actually alot younger) I started praying and as you may know we have to pray 5 times a day. Strangely, I would have an accident after one prayer each day, in some I was seriously injured. Some people told me that maybe I should stop praying and well I DID. Years came to pass and I told one of my aunts this story just last summer at a time when I was really going through very bad times. After listening to me she said (and her words I shall never forget) "Hady HE was testing you then and you have failed my son". Since I was going through the bad times and with the encouragement of a friend I started praying again since last August and things have been looking up since.
I am not saying that you should pray more. From the little I know about you, I know that the good Lord is in your heart and I know you would never spare a helping hand to help even strangers. All what I am saying is that you are being tested my good fiend and from the caliber of the person I know you are you shall rise to the challenge and come out with flying colors.
Hang in there Raye and He will point you the way. You shall be in my prayers.
Hady
Hey Raye
My name is Ray. I will be praying for you. You might want to look into High Dose Vit.C, Either or both I.V.C & Liposomal Vitamin C. I`am not no doctor neither have I had any medical training, However since my sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer close to 2yrs ago I have been constantly searching the internet hoping to help her. Today her cancer is in remission. due to her taking a product call D.C.A. that you can get on the cheap. I just recently found out about the benefits of Liposomal Vitamin C, & how to make it at home. I just got her started on it. I take it to it seems to be helping me with a few of my troubles, & I seem to have allot more energy. I will put a few links in here that you & others might find interesting. You can also buy Liposomal Vitamin C already made, however it is expensive.

If anyone wants more info. please PM me.
May the GOOD LORD TOUCH YOU & RESTORE even more than you lost.
Again, much thanks for you're all good thoughts.
On an upswing note I've planted a nice wild flower garden. This past weekend we cleared (my employee's did the work) two more areas for flowers. Plus we enlarged my vegtable garden area. Next week I'm thinking about doing some fishing.
Currently I'm wet aging a brisket and I have two butts in the smoker as I'm writing this out.
I have good days some not so yet...but I will not take a no for an answer and I will continue to improve.
Olds.

When they come in I will post pictures. I pick up today a large sunflower (seeds) that grow to 16 feet tall with flowers from 14" to 16". They will be the back drop for the rest.
