Weekday Wheeling: Something this Mon/Tue/Wed???

[Jim]

Jason stirred the waters for some wheeling mid-week. My Thurs and Fri are scheduled / unavailable but my Mon/Tue/Wed are available. Thoughts?

[hiimmike]

I could be down; not this week though, my counterpart is on PTO.

[Jim]

I'm out. Family issues - brother had a stroke - that's the priority.

I was out for a ride in the car yesterday. I rode 80c west from 287. Some pix to follow. Bottom line - it is a snow bashing opportunity.

80C is snowed closed right about here: 40.951909, -105.728327

A few more photos - and the local fire department's tanker truck stuck in a ditch (likely for some time):

Thanks for the invite! :p



All kidding aside, how is your brother doing?

[Jim]

As for family... There are questions (that still have not been answered).

- It seems he was alone for an amount of time (2-3 days???) before help was obtained.
- Stroke. He has equal ability to both sides of the body - and is generally able to get around (some balance issues exist).
- Eyesight is 100% gone (was not an issue before the event). Doctor, in testing, says it's not coming back (possibly due to the days before help was obtained)
- Long term memory looks solid but short term memory is in question.
- Blood clots are an issue (medication to reduce risk in effect).

I hope the short term memory issue resolves itself and comes back to 100% or near 100%. That issue would likely be of more significance than no sight. He could learn a new lifestyle of blind living - so long as the short term memory can work.

A bit early to know what's going to happen.

Any prayers folks wish to say for Richard and his new lifestyle are most appreciated.

EDIT: Family, working with Richard, comes to believe he can see, at least a little bit.

Thank you for sharing. I've known folks who have lost physical ability on one side of their body after a stroke so I understand that. My father-in-laws brother had one recently and is currently in the hospital in bad shape so it hits home and I can understand. I'll bring him and your family up for prayer requests in our small group tonight. If you want to just get out for a ride or something to clear your mind, please feel free to hit me up.

So so sorry for you and your family Jim.

My prayers for him, you and your family.

Sorry to hear that Jim, I hope Richard's recovery goes well. Praying for you all.

Hoping all goes well with the recovery and potential new lifestyle, prayers all around.
