I had a call from long time member Sidss1 today. He wanted me to let you all know that he suffered a couple of major strokes over the last 2 years and is slowly recovering but not enough yet to get on the forum. He was hospitalized for several months at u of M and then spent several more in rehab before finally being able to return home.

He tells me he is able to get around with a walker now. The underlying cause of his strokes is a benign brain tumor. He has an appointment with the Karmanos Cancer Institute to see if they can provide some form of radiation treatment for it as the location makes surgery not possible.

He sends his best and looks forward to being able to type again so he can get back on the forum.

Wishing him a strong recovery!

What a set back that must be. Our best to him.

Prayers sent.

Silent

Thanks Brad. Wondered about Sid. Prayers for him. Trust his gmail addy is still valid.

He is a good fella and am sad to hear this. I know he has been dealing with the brain tumor issue for quite sometime along with some other medical issues.
Glad to hear things are getting better and I will certainly be praying for his recovery and return.

I sure hope he recovers. I've missed his posts.

Prayer's sent. Thanks for letting us know of his situation. Let him know the forum family is thinking of him if you get to follow up with him.

Very sorry to hear this. I've seen so many people go from fully functional to very disabled with strokes; good news is many people will have very major recovery for up to 18 months after the stroke.

Thanks for the update. He’s in my prayers.

A comeback from two strokes will be legendary in and of itself. Wishing him the best for a speedier recovery.

Sidss1 is one of the good ones. Best wishes for a complete recovery.

Prayer sent, sidss1 is missed here. Always was informative on important topics here. Looking forward to more from you.

I'm sorry to hear this, but thanks for letting us know, Brad. Sending good thoughts and prayers.

Thanks! God bless Sid. He's always seemed a fine man, and I pray he heals quickly and well.

What a setback, glad to hear he's slowly recovering. Pass on our well wishes.

Thank you for letting us know. He’s always been very kind. I hope his continued recovery is swift.

Prayer's sent. Thanks for letting us know of his situation.

Please pass on my best wishes for a quick and full recovery.

Thanks for the update Brad. Sid sure has had some rough bouts over the years but has always bounced back miraculously. The man has been through a lot. I sincerely hope this was the last of his troubles and he enjoys good health and happiness from now on.
