Mary Kay (PERetired) hospitalized
Yesterday afternoon while at our daughter's place in San Jose Mary Kay had what appears to have been a stroke. She got to the hospital very quickly and they started running tests. The symptoms were slurred speech and lack of control on left jaw and arm and hand. After they did the MRI which was normal they decided to discharge her.
As she was dressing to leave she had another attack! They admitted her immediately and began to run some more tests. Today they completed the tests and all were negative. So they actually discharged her this afternoon.
She will stay overnight at our daughter's and my brother, Larry, and her brother, Greg, will go to San Jose and bring her and her car home.
After some thinking and rethinking I decided to not add to her stress. If I were to drive home I could very well cause more stress for her. She would probably be worrying about me the whole drive home.
Anyway she should be home tomorrow evening. I have talked with her several times and she sounds great! I think she may have been given a warning. Hopefully the meds and the reduced stress will keep her from having any further such events.
Our goal is still to see everyone at the Quartzsite gathering this coming January.
Dennis
UPDATE:
It is Friday evening about 6pm. Just got off the phone with Mary Kay. She is on her way home. Her brother is bringing her home. She will be home in a little over an hour.
We want to thank everyone for their obvious concern and caring. The MOC family is simply the BEST!
It is absolutely frightening to get "THAT" phone call. I can only imagine how scary it must have been from Mary Kay's point of view.
As my brother described his stroke. He could feel the arm going numb from the fingers up and he had no idea where or when it would stop! He could only say a few words and they were not the ones he needed to explain his situation. Fortunately the folks he was with guessed what had happened and got him to hospital within an hour or just a little over. Thankfully he had a 99.9% recovery and it appears Mary Kay will be in that same range!
We are truly blessed.
Dennis

Dennis,
We were both shocked to hear about Mary Kay and hope that she can get this under control right away. It's so fortunate that she was able to get to the hospital quickly. When time is on our side, the body has so much better a chance of healing.
Our thoughts are with you,
Bob

Holy Cow Dennis!!!! I'm sorry to hear about Mary K, I am glad to hear she is comming home. are the doctors going to do more test on her to find out what caused this to happen? they certanly should.
Georgia would be sitting there and go limp, it turned out that she had her blood pressure drop down to like nothing, and faint, she now is on medication to build it up the pressure and another to regulate it to normal. almost like taking a upper and a downer at the same time.
Get well Mary K
We'll see you and Mary K at Q-site

Great to hear that while it was scary, it apparently wasn't too serious. Hospitals are not good places to be unless you work there.
Give Mary Kay our best wishes!!!!

Dennis, that is really scary! Having a stroke is bad enough, but having the symptoms and not knowing why must be worse. Make sure she sees a good neurologist and give her our best.

Dennis,
We are so sorry to hear of Mary Kay's troubles. We will keep her in our prayers. It sounds like you were right on top of things by getting to the hospital so quickly. We are hopeful that they diagnose, and treat this problem and you guys can put all of this behind you. Looking forward to seeing you both at Quartzsite.

Dennis,
How scary and to still not know the cause even scarier. You and Mary Kay are in our thoughts and prayers.
We are also looking forward to seeing both of you at Quartzsite.
What would we do if Buddy isn't there to keep the big dogs in line?
