John, don't feel guilty about not having any physical limitations,I'm glad you don't have the physical problems like many of us have,instead offeeling guilty,feel blessed,however it took me a couple years to get my emotions under control and feel somewhat normal again. God Bless You, Tom

Oh, how I miss going to Daytona for Biketoberfest, just another thing the stroke has taken away, but me with only the use of 1 hand on a bike now would be nuts! Tom

CONTRATULATIONS RICH! I"M SO GLAD TO HEAR THIS TREATMENT IS WORKING FOR YOU! GOD BLESS, TOM

Wendie, Unfortunately at this time it won't be anytime soon, our countries wonderful politicians are holding things up, I see however you are from Tenn, I suggest keep writing Sen Frist, letting him know how important this issue is. God Bless, Tom

Ellen, I too was almost that "lump", but I refused to allow myself to just sit around and vegetate, You may have a form of depression that meds like cymbalta could help with,talk with your doctor and see what he recommends, I was put on Effexor for awhile but it didn't help, I knew the only thing that would make me feel better was returning to work, but being a diesel mechanic with only the use of 1 arm would be impossible, so I started to explore other options for work where I finaly found smething, now I've been back to work 40-60 hours per week for about 4 months and I feel great, tired but great! :big_grin: God Bless, tom

Rich, Bottom line is you should have had the opportunity to decide for yourself weteher or not you wanted the tpa,In one of the above post it was mentioned that the hospital may not want to treat you if you file a lawsuit,however legally they could not refuse you treatment because of you filing a lawsuit, so in my opinion if you feel justified by filing a lawsuit, then by all means file one. God Bless, Tom

Jean, I could not find Dora's post at universal designs could you leave a link for it?
