My left hand quit working
 

It was that way when I woke up this morning. I have feeling in my hand and can move my fingers. I must have had a mild stroke during the night. i can feel my arm but it is like it belongs to someone else. It won't do what I tell it. I am typing this one fingered. This is shitty.

see a doctor?

Masterbation is a killer !!!



Seriously though -- don't play with that and ignore it... Get your arse to the doctor pronto !!!! Could be something harmless, but don't wait to seek medical attention...


Better safe than sorry dude !!

No

You need to go to the ER right now, Skip.

A) Your arm isnt working.

B) Think you might have had a stroke.

C) Why are you not at the nearest hospital???

If you are serious, Skip, you better get to a DR. asap. Quick medical attention can minimize harm if there is a problem...and if not, you will sleep a lot better. Sounds like a classic symptom of a problem though...

You need to go to the Emergency Room now!

The beginning of the end. Your penis quit working years ago I bet. This is the second body part.

Dude, I don't know if you are just that kind of guy, but having even a "mild stroke" should cause you to get checked out and not yacking about it here on Chiefs Planet.

Get yourself to the ER immediately, Mr. Skip Towne.

Do not pass Go.

You should REALLY put that pride on ice and go......

You're ****in nuts Skip..go to the ER

wow.

please go to the hospital, skip.

WTF is wrong with you?????? GO TO A DOCTOR!!!!!!!!

Dude, you gotta go check it out. I know a guy who had a "mild" heart attack. He waited a couple of days before going to the doctor. Doctor told him if he would have come in right when he felt it they could have greatly reduced the long term damage to his heart. He screwed up and knows it now.

You need to get it checked out now!

Those bastards charge $14,000 to tell you they can't help you. I'm hoping it is a pinched nerve. If it isn't better in the morning I'll go.

Do you want to die.........NO, then quit being so pigheaded and go to a doctor........:rolleyes:

Skip, if you have insurance, it's not going to be 14K. You need to think about your own safety here....it's just money.

You're just going for another 100 post thread. Jeesh - so transparent.

skipper..you might not have another 'in the morning" go to the er, you still can't move it right, then go, tonight.....

I would really hope this isn't true...:shake:

Well, it's up to you, Mr. Skip Towne. But, Mr. chief52 is right. If it is something, the longer you wait, the more damage that can occur. Permanent damage. And, if it isn't anything, it won't cost you 14k or anywhere close to that amount.

Besides, they probably have cute nurses and they might give you some good drugs.

Consider reconsidering.

FAX

noob.

classic phobia.

They dont ask for it up front...so get your stubborn ass to the ER

Sorry to show some concern.

Should we taze Skip as well??

Well, upon reading that more, it very well could also be a pinched nerve. I know that back in 2003, I had serious numbness in my left shoulder all the way down my arm, pain, etc. After having it basically massaged out, it was fine. Of course, I am not Skip's age, heh.
Come on dude, they won't charge you 14k to have a look, geesh!

:deevee:

Years ago I had an 18 year old cousin who was in high school... He was in perfect shape... Played football, basketball, and ran track... Didn't smoke or do drugs at all...

One day at school his arm and neck became sore, then he complained his chest was heavy... He didn't say anything to anyone for 2 days...

When he did tell someone on the third day --- we were at his funeral 4 days later...


You don't play a game with life... You'll never win !!! Something so mild to start with could have been prevented...


Screw ChiefsPlanet for the night --- get to the hospital NOW !!!!!!

I gotta give it a chance to go away. It is better now than this AM. Hard to post though.

You just can't help but be a prick.

Why are you not in a Doctors' office Mike?

Can I have your sattelite business?

There's where Skip has him beat. He's been smoking for 80 years, you know?

first off, phobia is joking.

second off...it wouldn't be skip towne thread without the word noob.

you take the internet way too seriously.

aren't you a newlywed? isn't it friday night?

:hmmm:

Yep, I'm way overdue.

Couldn’t hurt it would save the cost of a defibrillator, in an ambulance.

Have you been healthy most of your life?

History of heart disaease in your family?

(sticking to yes and no questions)

Skip, in all seriousness, get your a$$ to a hospital. This sort of thing is nothing to fug around with.

Yes, no Dr's in 30 years.

My guess is you have a big blob of fat somewhere in your leg and a little piece broke off last night and gave you a little stroke. The whole thing could come lose at any time and that will be the end of Skip Towne. Go to hospital.

Dad died of a heart attack at 46.

I'll update in AM

And if we get no update??

I hope you're still around. I can't believe how monumentally stubborn you're being about not going to the hospital.

Skip, we don't know each other. But get your ass to a Dr.

WTF? Haul your ass down to the ER for **** sake. Not worth taking a chance on. You make the wrong choice and you could be taking a dirt nap, or worse, sitting there with that deer in the head light look wearing a bib for the rest of your life. Get your ass th the Er Skip.

You need to see a Dr. Alot of minor problems like this can turn into bigger ones later if untreated. Sounds like some kind of nervous system problem. Don't be stubborn and go see a Dr.

Damn Mike, You are without a doubt a stubborn old bird, but damn, that isn't anything to play with in your age.

Should I stay or should I go now.....
Should I die or should I live .........

E.R baby, it's more than a hit TV show on DTV, OK.........:shake:

What a bunch of hypochondriacs. It will either heal or not.

Here's a test for you Skip... Go find something in your house that weighs at least 5 pounds... Pick it up using JUST your fingers --- not the whole hand... See if you can hold it for 15 seconds at the most...

That's how his hand stopped working to begin with.... some test.

Oh - you said 5 lbs. Nevermind.

That's right. It's also a leftist agitprop docudrama (sorry, crossthread humor from DC).


BTW, Skip. Get your ass to a doctor. You're right that your stroke (if that's what it was) will heal or not. That being said, you could be in for worse ones (or complications) in the future that might be preventable if you get some medical assistance. I'm not saying hit the ER, but I'd definitely recommend a visit to the doctor in the near future (like soon). Best of luck to you!

Who gives a shit?

Hopefully this guy has another one tonight and pays the price for his monumental stupidity/internet attention whoreness.

Karma is a vindictive, bloodthirsty bitch.

WTF Skip?

OUCH !!!! ROFL

Who are you?

I warned you not to 'fuck with me,' Skip. I was aiming for the right arm, though.

I'll have to look into that.

Maybe we can take care of this right here. Do you have a sharp knife, a match, and some pot handy, Mr. Skip Towne?

FAX

You're right.

Maybe I'll have a stroke tonight.

Then I'll go to the doctor.

Skip, the symptoms you are describing could be a couple of things. Several of such things will go away if you tough it out. However, if you think you have had a mild stroke, without medical attention - and medical attention rather soon, you WILL have more. Not a maybe, WILL. And WHEN it happens again (again not if WHEN) it will be more severe. Ignore it, and you could end up dead or worse - laying in a nursing home unable to walk, eat, drink, speak, etc.

You do what you want. If it were me, I'd have been calling doctors trying to get in this morning if not, I'd have went to ER. Yeah, it'd be a bill I have to pay, but I'd be around to pay it.

Pride is a fool's fortress.

I'm eagerly awaiting next month's follow-up post "I can't feel half of my face."

Comedy gold!

lol...you do, you posted.....:rolleyes:

Mr. Skip Towne may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. There has to be a reason why he is electing not to have this checked out.

1. He has an overwhelming fear of doctors.
2. He believes that this thread will go to 100 posts as long as he refuses treatment.
3. The stroke has already affected his judgement.
4. He has no clean underwear.

FAX

You left one off:

5. He's really stoned.

There --- I fixed it !!!!

Pride?

If it's not pride, then what is it? Stupidty?

If there is something wrong then go see a Dr. There really isn't any reason not to go other than you're too stubborn to go. No offense of course. Regardless I hope everything gets better.

Skip, get your stuborn a$$ to the e.r., I don't want to be the only ''old'' butt hole left on the planet

maybe you guys can help me out with this...

lately I've had a bit of a 'heavy' chest as well, and a bit of neck pain that flashes in and out, as well as some shortness of breath...but it only is like that if I think about it...if my mind is off of it then I don't feel anything.

I think it has something to do with anxiety, but I am going to get it checked out sometime within the next few days.

Do you guys think I'm just worrying about it so it's affecting my mind set or do you think there is something seriously wrong? My family has absolutely no history of heart disease or cancer, etc...

ROFL

Prompt medical attention is key with stroke. I had an uncle who said similar to what you just did, "I felt like someone else's arm was in bed with me", and he'd had a stroke. There is a fairly substantial risk of death in the first few days afterwards without proper treatment--get to a Dr, Don't wait for the socialization of medicine!

If you can get care within the first 3 hours, they can give you an anticoagulant that will break down the clot and prevent a lot of damage. It's also important to make sure the stroke wasn't caused by part of a larger clot that broke off ... because it could be that the rest of that big clot is about to move up to the brain and kill you. Another important reason to get medical care immediately is they can test the severity of the stroke and based on how well you recover in 24 hours guesstimate a lot about how much damage there was, your prognosis, and how aggressive they need to be in therapy.

but go ahead and stay home Skip, 'cause them gosh danged doctorin fools is just out ta get ya monay'.

:shake:

You've recieved a lot of good advice on this thread.

I went through the same stuff. I thought it was the end of me a couple of times. How old are you?

No heart problems for me. It was acid reflux. They put me on nexium and now I can't function without it. Better safe than sorry though...

Only 21 more posts until Skip goes to the hospital!

Skip, My heart goes out to your hand and arm. If you loose contol of it permanently, you always have a stranger on your johnson...

Get some Viagree and go to town.


Seriously, hope all is well bro. Rock Chalk. God bless you and your grumpy online persona, and your offline hand.
