no more driving for mr

arkjarhead · Dec 7, 2006

hey guys haven't posted in a while i've been really busy. About 2 months ago I started having these dizzy spells everyday and couldn't figure out way. well monday my wife was taking me to the truck and i told her what was going on and she took me to the va in little rock. long story short all those dizzy spells were mini seizures in my brain. so now i can't drive a big truck, my dodge, or my wife's hyundai. my only form of transportation is bumming a ride or riding my lawn mower. i really wish you all would remember me in prayers. driving has been my means for working since i got out of the service. now i have to find something else. plus my wife is out of work right now so it's not looking good for us. i'm not asking for pity just some prayers. i hope everyone else is doing wonderfully.

Our member's prayers helped Rene' through a tough period and contributed greatly to her return to normalcy. You will be in our prayers as we see you through your dilemma. Marines deserve better than a short circuit for their service.

Arkjarhead, it sounds like you've been having Transient Ischemic Attacks, or TIAs, if so, spend some of the downtime researching the condition, there may be help for you. Our prayers and best wishes are with you, and be careful on that lawnmower, ya hear? Cheri

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully in this day and age, there is a treatment or medication that can control the seizures. Hang in there, Tom. P.S. Semper Fi!!!!!

While we are running around near Little Rock we will keep an eye out for you. I know that will be a little bit of a hike for you on a lawnmower but we will still watch for you. Seriously thought our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

Here's to a rapid and successful resolution. As Cheri mentioned, they may be both treatable and manageable. Best wishes to you and yours.

Take care and it's good that they caught it,the last thing you want to happen is a serious health problem far from home.

You're in my thoughts & I wish you nothing but the best. Just a thought here, but could you do something on the office side of this job? I realize people who like to drive often don't want to be in an office, but maybe you could be a recruiter or something. Having been on the road you'll be able to relate to what drivers want. You could be a big asset doing something like that.

Be well,
Danny
