No, it wasfull blown. I was bleeding out of my brain, and that gave me the worst headaches I ever had. It hurt so bad I couldn't see. When I woke up in the hospital, all I could see was shadows. My biggest fear was I was going blind. A few days later I got my sight back, but for a while I was scared shirtless.
I recovered from my stroke, thankfully no paralysis, no slurred speech, so God's healing hand was on me again.
Greatest role model ever! :smile: I'm glad your alright too.

You remind me of a grizzled old war veteran who's lived through some real and actual hardships compared to what others may whine or complain about (yes, even me), yet still retains a sense of self-worth and perserverance.

I tip my Radar O'Reilly hat to you, good sir.

I doubt Oliver Stone will make a movie out of my days fighting Viet Cong in the rice paddies, but having a stroke was scary stuff. Painful stuff. The medical roller coaster I've been on, I wouldn't want anybody to live with what I do.
But I still have a reason to get up in the morning, I still have a church family that cares so much, I got cool people like you, and I have my peace. Nothing and no one can take that away from me.

I'm really looking forward to seeing those old Steve D'Monster videos in their original speed! I was a little annoyed when those videos were reuploaded in 2014 sped up, because the audio became a little too high-pitched.

So a while back I was ranting about how happy I was when I found all of the Sesame Street Treasury books at a rummage sale and since I was little I have had an almost complete set of The Sesame Street Library books (I still need volume 15) and at the thrift store I found the plastic Big Bird case that holds the books

The 2014 reuploads weren't that great anyway, because they were digitized via Movie Maker, which, as we all know, isn't a great software for decent video editing. I completely redid the digital masters in Adobe Premiere over the past year, and I'm happy to say, they are on two different external sources to ensure multiple back-ups.

On a similar note, as I've mentioned before, I am planning a new Steve short that will be in a similar vein as that gym episode that was never finished, in that it will be a mostly pantomime short with a lot of visual and physical humor, with one specific running gag that's weaved throughout the short . . . it just relies on us actually getting some decent snowfall this winter, lol.
