now i havent been on here in a little over a week, i simply call it the week from hell and i sincerly hope NONE OF YOU HAVE TO GO THERU ONE LIKE IT.
i thought i was big and bad , a truck driver i can handel aanything that come my way always have and always will well it jyst aint so in fact is is pure BS .
i got up one mourning and as ususal pored me a cup of coffee just to get my heart statrted sat down in my lazy chair and thought business as usaual WRONG without warning i lost all my strength and i mean all , i could not move could not get out of the #### chair i could barley get together enough strength to call an ambulance had no idea what was wrong by the time the ambulance got there i was unconcious, three days later i woke up in the hospital , it seems as though i had had a stroke on the left side of my brain and let me tell you it knocked my socks off.
i woke up sourounded by doctors who all said i was supposed to be dead well im not , not yet anyway a few days later i left the hospital still no srength but im still here once again im doing what they said can't be done LIVE .
i have beeen in this business a long time , been everywhere there is to go done everything there isto do and i guess ive been thrue some pretty tough times and out of all of it i have learned that if you want to do it bad enough you can you never lose till you quit and i di not QUIT thats why im still here .
they say it's going to be at least 6 months before i have all my sength back but i can handel that i needed a vacation anyway.
all of you remember this is a tough business but if you want it bad enough you can get it done don't listen to the word can'f , or quit just do it you can get it done there is always away and never hesitate to give a word of encouragement to a fellow driver you never know how much it can mean i was surprided to get a couple of private mesages when i got bac k on this thing and it meant a great deal and it will never be forgotten.
my very best to all this is still the greatest site there is . southernpride![]()

It's good you were able to get to the hospital quickly and receive the care you needed to help get you through that. That's a lot to be thankful for and that you are doing well enough to post here.
Take it easy and get better soon.JustSonny, otherhalftw, luvmyhubby and 1 other person Thank this. -
Sorry to hear that southernpride. But I'm glad you are doing better. It is tough on a man to learn that you are human by having your body start screwing up. Getting old is not easy. Take care, sir.

Southern pride, So glad to read you were able to get the care you needed and were in a safe place at the time of your stroke. I enjoy your posts immensely, they are right at the top of my required reading.
I will not hestitate one bit in offering you my most heartfelt and sincere encouragement for a complete recovery.JustSonny, luvmyhubby, otherhalftw and 2 others Thank this. -
SP, my friend, I'm most certainly glad that you are back! You had me worried there. So I guess this means that you'll be around here for a while, to share your pearls of wisdom while you recover.
Now you take it easy, and you darn well better be doing what they tell you to. I don't want you to disappear on us again, you hear me young man?
Don't make me come down there and whip you into shape.

####, Man!!! I'm glad you made it to the phone.. I hope you're able to make a full recovery..
Do you have anyone close by that can drop in from time to time to make sure you're still sucking air?
I'd hate to think what would have happened if you didn't make it to the phone..
