Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Howdy Marge, other good folks ... Thanks for the contact points .. they do work. I just talked to Gary .. he has a good attitude and is confident that he will regain full use of his right arm and leg .. his cognitive processes are intact and working normally .. just a tad slow on speech but folks who had not previously talked with him would probably not pick up on that. He will be attending an in house " Boot Camp " for physical therapy 3-4 times a day .. he is satisfied with the hospital service and thinks he will be out in 4 to 6 weeks. He asked me to tell the folks on Oils & Herbs and Natural Perfumery that he's doing fine and appreciates their concern .. and he also asked me to tell folks that IF they should suddenly feel they are a little bit drunk when they've not been drinking .. or have a noticeable problem picking up an object, etc., they should immediately head for the ER because he waited around 6 hours and the doctors said that they MIGHT have been able to head it off if he had come in earlier. I consider this to be good advice for me and I am sure it should be for some other folks. Gary has not lost his sense of humor .. says he is a bit frustrated because he'll not be able to smoke Camel Lights or drink Wild Turkey 101 any more. ;-) He asked me to send him some Rose Otto, Rosemary (Cineole), Lavender and Oregano .. I'm sending it and I can see no potential contraindications from those oils .. plus the only treatment he is receiving is aspirin. Still ... I made him PROMISE that he would bounce it off his doctor before he started sniffing. ;-) Oregano is needed any time we are in a hospital .. Rosemary (Cineole) is probably second to Oregano for kicking big bad bug butts and it will increase circulation to some small degree in the capillaries but no problem there either. Lavender is obviously relaxing and calming and promotes good sleep .. and though there are the rare folks who have just the opposite reaction Gary is not one of those people. Y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com <http://www.av-at.com/> just updated... sent by a mutual friend, and the quote is a direct quote > from Gary: > > He said you can post news for him, or respond if anyone asks: > > " The stroke was not life threatening and his condition is stable.
