Our boss just got hauled out of here. Stroke. |
|
Good vibes/thoughts appreciated. He's a nice guy. I was just at a site visit with him yesterday so it's sort of surreal. I wish I had noticed something then but he seemed OK. *sigh* Now I can't really concentrate at work anyway.
Thanks for any Lounge-vibes, guys.

You have to wonder if the stress finally got to him. We just had a major regulatory change by our best government buddies the TSA Nov 1 that has really impacted our business. That meeting yesterday was with a customer about their new (stupid-ass) security rules for cargo.
We're a small company so it impacts us more than most. He is nice to work for.

2. Did they take him to the ER? |
|
If you can catch a stroke in the first few hours a LOT of damage can often be prevented.
Once they rule out a intracerebral hemorrhage they can start TPA (a clot buster). Patients seen in the first 3 (?) hours of a stroke can have very very good recoveries.
Keeping my fingers crossed for your boss!

8. Well there was an ambulance |
|
The HR manager noticed him acting odd around 8 AM when he was rolling up to work. he was checking his car for damage b/c he had been swerving around and he commented to a few people about feeling strange. But he was able to brush it off as just feeling sick. Once he started stumbling around and his arm went limp, and slurring his speech, they got him out of here around 10. I hope that's fast enough.

14. If they've determined he did have a CVA, there's time to |
|
give him tPA.
The stroke rules, are can you smile? Can you move your hand? Can you speak? No to any of those, it's a CVA.

6. I hope it was a minor stroke, and I hope he'll be okay. |

I don't think anyone will blame you for not being able to focus today. :(

of course maybe the best way to help is to make him as much $$$ as possible while he is out.
I am actually blaming TSA at the moment (long story, touched on it up thread)

I can't post to the Astro group anymore (guess I'll get my star around Xmas) but can you pass on a request for good vibes to the crew over there? I would appreciate it.

Nice of you to ask for good vibes for your boss. That's probably unusual for DU. Good luck to all concerned.

22. Yeah, I guess you're right. |

I'm finding out from experience that anyone who pays insurance out of pocket for you -and your spouse -and your kids- and treats you with dignity -deserves hardcore vibes. Some other managers here are eeeevil.
