While I don't see baldanders very often, he and his partner roadnotes are two of my oldest friends who have seen me through lovers and heartaches and a gazillion different obsessions with good humour, grace and insight.

baldanders is currently in the hospital, having had a stroke earlier today. While the limited details I've heard sound somewhat encouraging, this remains a serious and frightening situation for all concerned. If you could keep them in your thoughts, it would be most appreciated.

I apologize if you are finding out through this mode. Additionally, I should note that spreading the news has had its official approval, and I am under the understanding that I am not, in fact, talking out of school.

We'll keep them in our thoughts.

I don't know either of them personally, but read them both, and am horribly sorry this has happened. Keeping them and you very much in my thoughts.

His blood pressure, incidentally, is roughly 186 over 123- high, but down roughly 40 points from figures quoted in the Making Light thread.

That is good to hear. Having a fairly flexible and random schedule, do let me know if there's anything that needs doing.

[contrarywise]

I will keep them in my thoughts, indeed. May baldanders have a smooth and complete recovery.

Oh . . crap. Could you email me both of their addresses? I'd like to send them good wishes but I don't think I have current information.

I'm sending him healing vibes.

My current thought for everyone: get your blood pressure checked.

He was sleeping, though crankily, as every time he started getting solidly asleep, someone came up and took a test, or did something weird to him (standard first night in the hospital). He's got a room in the ICU, and I will report back tomorrow.

Love to you both.
So much love.

I had a stroke last January. I was only 27.
It's scary as hell, but there IS light at the other end of the tunnel.

I will be keeping them in my thoughts, definitely.

Eep! That's so young! Any idea as to what caused it? Birth control?

I had a pulmonary embolism this January (I was 31!), which was also as frightening as all hell. Fortunately, my husband was home when I passed out and he called 911 right away. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

*hugs*

All signs and doctors point to a bad chiropractic neck adjustment. I'm all for chiropractors, but not when it comes to one's neck. Not after having to learn to walk again, and having permanent balance and vision deficits now.

I'm so glad you were home with your husband when it happened. I'm glad I was at work and around people, otherwise, I would have been slept on by my cats until my roommate got home a few hours later.

*hugs*

oh heavens. how sad. i lost contact with them long ago but always held a certain admiration/affinity for them as individuals and as a couple. my thoughts are with them and i appreciate you keeping us posted.

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

I don't know baldanders, but I'm sending healing vibes his way.

Sending good thoughts for your friend.
