Former Bears coach Mike Ditka suffers 'very minor stroke'

tough old man

He was a pure stroke of genius.

Get that man a brat and some beer! Stat!

da Bears!

A stroke like that must be the strangest thing ever. You're just sitting there minding your own business, and the next thing you know, your hands and fingers start functioning differently, your vision changes - not significantly, but noticeably, and when you try to talk about it, you find you are using the wrong words for the simplest things.

That would be very weird, indeed.

Anyhow, get well coach.

Who would win between Ditka and a hurricane stroke?

Da Ditka.

Dude was a wildman there for a few years when he coached. It wasn't acting either

Hard to believe he's 73.

No big deal. It was just a piece of polish sausage lodged in the lining of his heart.

No worries, dey got'im on an IV of barbecue sauce.

Probably a mistake sending him a Jim Mcmahan Gift card

Ditka's great. He's an NFL icon. I hope he's doing well.

HAVE A MAJOR STROKE, PIOLI - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM

who would win in a fight. Ditka or God?

So... he won't be like Dick Clark on New Year's Eve the past few years of his life?

Thathshhh a gwrauht pahoint, Dan. Tiuhhhmmm Tebuhoauh nuhheeds duhoo thhtsthrouh duh bauaahll on plauh actichshcion pauhssessth

Trick question. Ditka is God

i hate how the media calls them "minor"

Minor stroke..

Minor heartattack...

hell those are pretty serious

That's what the doctors told Ditka it was. What else are they supposed to report?

sorry but if my heart stops beating I would consider it serious no matter how long it lasts

or if the blood stopped flowing to my brain I would say that was also serious

What Is a Minor Stroke?


A minor stroke is a major event in life. The symptoms of a minor stroke often are no different from those of a major stroke. A minor stroke is caused when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Common symptoms of a minor stroke include headache or migraine, nausea, numbness or tingling sensation in the limbs, loss of vision in one eye, problems talking, dizziness and extreme confusion.

Minor stroke= stroke that happens to someone else.Get well Mike.

There is no such thing as a minor stroke... anyone who fails the Cincinnati Stroke Scale has had a significant event happen to them... I hate classifying people, but he's a geriatric pt and I really like Ditka and wish him the best, I hope there was no significant damage, because he's one of the few people I can tolerate on ESPN

that was my point. I was saying there is no difference between a "minor" stroke and a "major" stroke

**** ESPN.

****ing shameless that in talking about Ditka, they title him as "ESPN analyst." He's a hall of fame player and a super bowl coach for crying out loud.

Do you really not understand the concept of varying severity of heart attacks and strokes?

Just a "minor" injury!

So if Ditka was escorting da Bears team bus to the stadium with his car and the bus breaks down leaving Ditka to play every position on the field, how much would da Bears win by?

Is that anything like "light" treason?

Uh, that's not entirely true... There are different severity levels of strokes (based on the level of bleeding and how long it has gone untreated) and heart attacks, but my point was that anyone who has a stroke has had a significant event happen to them.

People who have Myocardial Infarctions do have "minor" heart attacks in many cases...

Lots of geriatric pts have had minor MIs and didnt even realize it or call EMS, especially women because they present differently

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING...appreciate the info .. but...

I am saying If a DR walked up to ME and said "you just had a minor heart attack" I would say "that sounds pretty serious doc"

It depends if it happens on thanksgiving or not.

I hear the Dr said he's got to watch his pork intake.
