#7  #5 While I sincerely hope Kim Jong is a vegetable I have to take issue with the statement that " You never really "recover" from a stroke.

I have, as completely as if there never was one in the first place, all that continues to be affected is my wallet.


I agree Redneck Jim there are lots of folks who make complete recoveries from strokes.

During one of my abdominal reconstruction surgeries "I threw some blood clots" into my left lung? [or right one?]. Well I didn't feel a thing but still had to take Coumadin for 6 months.

Watching paint dry is way more exciting than Watching clots dissolve.

#4  You never really "recover" from a stroke. It's going to be a council of generals if he's too slow to keep on top.

#3  Yeah. When they raise his hand and let go, he is able to flop it back down on the bed unassisted.

LOL Gorb! It's tough being at the Top...

Being a Great Leader is no picnic. The sacrifices I make for the people gives me one hell of an appetite, but life can be so unfair.

The damnable Drs. say I shouldn't be eating so many rare fattened green peasants children but I was famished. You know they gave my father [Great Leader l] one hell of lot of gas too.
