More Bear Problems


I figured it was time to say something about this.
I’m not looking for any pity, I just want to let you know what’s what from the Bear Den.
I had another Stroke Sunday afternoon. Everything got blurry, and I was pretty unstable for a few hours. I needed Bear Jr’s help to get to the bathroom, and back to my chair.

The dizziness got back to “Normal” after a few hours, and I slept in my chair for the next 2 nights. That way Mrs Bear would be close if I had a problem, instead of all the way at the other end of the house, in our bedroom. It’s been a real PITA, because screwing with my oxygen tubing while walking with a walker is not a game they ever showed on “Truth or Consequences”. I’m making it though, and have slept the last 2 nights in our bed rather comfortably. My balance has suffered more than it already was, and my eyes are a little screwed up, especially the left one, which has had problems since the first stroke I had, while in the hospital 11 years ago. My peripheral vision has been reduced on the left side, so it would be easy to sneak up on me from that side.
So I’m apologizing now for missing so many more Great food threads being posted. I’m already missing a lot, because I’m averaging about 1 “Alert” email per day, these days, so I kinda have to hunt for posts—They don’t come to me, like they used to.
I’m also having trouble with any type under size 18, so I’m doing the best I can.
I still have a lot of stuff I’ve already done, because I’m always way behind on matching my Text with my food pictures, so when I’m able I still have stuff to post.
However everything will be Pre-Stroke Pictures (Before July 17th), because since then Mrs Bear took over complete Cooking Duty at “The Bear Den”.

So if I’m missing here & there, don’t get upset. Mike from South Carolina will know what’s up, as he’ll be in touch with Mrs Bear, if I’m not able for a time.

So that’s about it for now. Gotta close my eyes for awhile.

Rest up and take care John, leave the cookin' to Mrs Bear for now. We're all here pulling for you, ready to chat anytime you like. RAY
 
I barely know the Bear but always look forward to your scrapple posts.
Stay low for a few days and I wish you the best and fast recovery.
 
Bear,
We really appreciate the updates on your health status. For us (especially myself) who are getting up there in age, this is a reminder that we all need to wake up to reality of getting old.

We all really hope you are able to put a bunch of these issues behind you and move on.
 
Thoughts and prayers John for you and Ms Bear ! Take your time and don't overdue it!

Sounds like things are a real challenge right now. Thoughts and prayers for the Bear Den. Do miss seeing your posts, but definitely understandable.

I still refer back to your "step by step" manual periodically. It is a great resource.
 
Bear hope you start to feel better soon. Love all your posts and vast information you provide.
 
Get well Bear. We'll be here for you, just as you have been here for us.
