Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
I am writing about the last 18 months of my life to give tribute and thanks to God for being with me in a time of a terrible health crisis. I am a living, breathing, walking, talking miracle, a tribute to the power and love that God has for us. On August 19, 2014 at approximately 6:30 p. m. I had a severe stroke that nearly killed me. The first thing the doctors told my wife, Marsha, was that the damage to my brain was so great that I wouldn't survive. When I passed the timeline of death or life, which I believe is 72 hours (3 days), they then told her that I would likely survive but would be permanently paralyzed on my left side and would be bedridden for the rest of my life. The stroke wasn't from a plaque buildup in the artery as is common, but rather was the result of a blood clot that went to my right carotid artery. Instead of immediately blocking the artery it partially blocked it, increasing the blood pressure going to my brain. The increased pressure tore off two large chunks and four smaller chunks before the clot totally clogged the artery. The neurologist said the effect was the same as being shot in the head with a shotgun. The largest piece damaged the area of the brain that controls my left arm, leaving it paralyzed and feelingless. The next largest piece took out my left leg, leaving it also totally paralyzed and feelingless. The four smaller pieces took my vision, speech, emotions, and balance. Needless to say I was a total mess.
