Hello folks I ain't posted on here for a while because I'm recovering from a stroke. Oh and I had covid-19. It all started on the 23rd of March i had come into contct with someone who later showed signs of the virus. So I decided to self isolate I felt fine until a few days in when I started to feel sick flu like symptoms without a cough which I never had through out . Then I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days then into the 2and week I started to feel better, I just developed the cant smell.or taste business. On April 2and I got out of bed and went to brush my teeth the toothbrush fell out of hand , mmmm strange I thought so I tried the other hand same thing both hands no feeling that is when I thought I'd call the ambulance which was no mean feat without the use of my hands. Ambulance came and I was rushed to Charing Cross Stroke unit and diagnosed with a small bleed on the left hand side of my brain. I explained that I been self isolating so they tested my for covid 19 on the Thursday on the Saturday I was diagnosed with covid19. Taken down and put in the coranvirus section in a side ward on my own 5 days later I was let home . They said my stroke was caused by high blood pressure! Anyway I'm getting slot better use of both hands, no speech impediment but get fatigue really easy. I'm 55 didn't expect this but you just have to get on with it . The hardest part is not seeing my family because I could do with a hug. Anyway that's all folks sorry for any spelling mistakes or bad grammar but to text this much is a victory considering I couldn't pick a phone up a couple of months ago. U rssssss!

Hello Tel hopefully before long we will be at the back of the loft again drinking the finest red wine loftus road has to offer ! Lol |
Welcome back mate and I'm glad to hear you are on the mend. In terms of the red wine, you'll be alright if your taste and smell are still on the blink! |  |

Blimey, what an ordeal! Pleased you're on the mend and through the worst.
On the plus side, I understood every word of your post, which certainly wasn't the case with your posts before the stroke! |  | | |

Good to see you back Jon and continuing to get better.
55 mate! Who are you trying to kid?
I suspect it will still be some time before we are discussing the merits of short corners from the back row of the upper loft. |  | | |

26 and counting upvotes for your having a stroke and getting covid seems a little harsh to me!
Good to see you back and hope you're getting the best advice on how to look after yourself. Rangers are unbeaten during your absence, by the way. |  |

What an horrendous time you've had and glad your back in the firing line, I mean on the board.
Thanks to your avatar I can only picture you as having a cup of tea with Olive and riding a side-car.
No qpr just now so blood pressure should be scrapping along the bottom.
Keep well mate, STAY SAFE!! |  |

Glad you made it. I read somewhere that high blood pressure is the single largest underlying issue that affects patients admitted with coronavirus. |
Welcome back Connell 10 ,baby steps are good right now hope you firmly on the road to recovery.
High blood pressure is bad when it comes to surviving Covid but Diabetes, obesity,and compromised immune system ranks higher I believe .
I am on medication for high blood pressure myself and the doc says strokes or heart attacks are the major dangers but that was before this virus showed up.Supposedly I have high cholesterol as well thanks to my Irish diet of as much fried food and dairy going back to my early days and no amount of greens are going to change that .
I hate to take any pills but they are a necessary evil sometimes . | | | |

Bloody hell, Connell. Just read this. That is some ordeal! I didn’t know it could cause strokes via high blood pressure.. Fair play for having the speed of thought to get the ambulance out and doing so with no hands. Good to hear you’re on the mend. Hope the recovery continues to go well. |  | | |

You've certainly managed to squeeze some real life experiences into the last couple of months, Connell!
I'm glad to known that you're on the mend and wishing you a full and speedy recovery. | | | |

Sounds like you've had a terrible time. Sending you a virtual girly hug 🤗 cos they are definitely very good for you. You're obviously made of very stern stuff to get through all that. I've just had the CV and that was bad enough. Only just feeling back to normal a couple of months in in terms of lung capacity, energy levels etc. Hope you're looking after yourself and trying to get that high blood pressure down. Look forward to seeing your posts and take care. |  | | |
