I hook up with my Boss Sun eve at Holiday Isle docks for a few beers this past Sunday after work...I have 2 days off....don't see him Monday, a day off for him as well.
Usually, Monday mornings 3 of us meet on our scooters at 10:00 am for 'breakfast' at Rumrunners at The Holiday Isle. Only 2 met as I had to leave for the mainland and Home Depot.
Stopped by the marina late Tue to dump Home Depot trash, a new co-worker tells me the Boss left not feeling good. Know his position has some stress. Asked the other guy I work with what happened on a stressful situation and it did not sound good...so I figure, that's why he left and went home.
Wed am...in at work....under construction so we are in an AC shed, his back is to me and I say.."Good Morning Gents" , a co-worker there as well.
Phone rings, my coffee is on the rail, Boss answers the phone...doesn't bark the company name as usual...sounds muffeled....off the phone turns around, looks swollen...I hear novocain '..you have a tooth ache?'...he tells me he's numb
YOU'RE HAVING A STROKE & YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR NOW!!! He said he couldn't drink his coffee....
SAME SYMPTOMS TIM TOLD ME HE HAD, YOU ARE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL...NOW!!!
He called me late this afternoon and was being released...still had some slurred speech, we did have a few laughs in our conversation.
Sounded tired, his brother drove in yesterday, i'll visit over the weekend.
Talking with my buddy Tim only a few weeks ago made me aware of stroke symptoms and I urge all to search, read and be aware. Tim is 46, Boss 55...it can happen to anyone and time matters
