Thanks and indeed, its an awesome and weird feeling that my girlfriend kinda saved my life that day.

To give you all an update (some might be a bit frustrated about me being slow on everything the last days/weeks but im doing all i can to handover specific parts of my work to my employees):

Last wednesday i had to take an MRI scan from my brain, for which they had to inject contrast liquid. Not fun at all, but very necessary to do to check where it went wrong and if there still is something in my brain that is a risk.

Thursday i was feeling really well. Still have someone around me 24/7 but doing better.

Friday i got a call from the medical chief in the hospital. It swept the world from under my feet again. They found something that shouldnt be there. They planned an urgent MRI scan again with liquids for the next day at 9 in the morning to see what it was, because the previous scan was a complete one, and they needed to do another one fast that is more "closedup".

The "thing" that shouldnt be there can be a number of things. I have one shot of it being "not to bad", that would be that it is some kind of scar in my brain. The other "shots" could mean anything bad, from a bloodclog that shot through to a deeper part, to anything you can imagine and im not gonna say it out loud (to not jinx it.. i know..)

Tomorrow at 14:15 amsterdam time, i have to check into the hospital again.

Thats when i hear what it is, not so bad, or really bad. Worst case is a fast and urgent surgery to ... But my hopes are with that scar theory. That the stroke resulted in a scartissue which i can live with and grow old with.

Its a very very scare and anxious 3 days now since last friday, and tomorrow i will be hearing if my life will be changing desperatly, or if im gonna be like i always was.

I would like to thank everyone for the nice messages on icq and aim, and on this board. Its really good to see and hear that people are so good for me and want to help out wherever and whenever they can, even when we never met in person.

Off course, theres always some people that love to spread some hate, and for those i have added 2 convos in my signature, they can be viewable online. It wont get me down for a second, but i want to show everybody how "sad" some people in this biz are. This guy was banned on gfy, his name on the boards: rick/zucchi/vids2k/allformyspace

A nice read, and to be honest, it gives me strenght to get up and running and proof once again im not only gonna beat them again and again like before, but i will also come back stronger then ever.

Because thats what i want.

Thanks again to everyone, give me a nice prayer if you have one tomorrow at 14:15, who knows what positive thoughts can do!
