Boeingfever777 Has Had A Stroke

Longhornmaniac · Sat Oct 31, 2009 1:22 am

Hello A.net community,

Yesterday morning Matt (Boeingfever777) had 2 strokes in Austin, TX. Many of you know him, and his twin brother Drew (FXramper), so I thought I should pass this along. According to Drew, he is doing better but obviously, there is a long road to recovery ahead of him. I don't know a whole lot of details, but Drew has told me that he's checked a.net, so he can't be doing terrible (unless, of course, we think he's suffered brain damage by wanting to associate with a bunch of us losers! Silly

).

Please keep Matt, his new wife, Drew, and the rest of their family in your thoughts and prayers. Drew or I will update you on his status when we can.

Cheers,
Cameron

Drew let us chat regulars know yesterday. Sad day, needless to say.

I sent him an IM via his profile, hoping he gets well soon. I hope a lot of others will do as I have done.

Much appreciated that you'll keep us updated Cameron. Smile

I only know him from talking on aim and here. Very nice fellow and it is sad to a bad thing happen to a good person. Fortunately his wife is an ER nurse. God bless and may he have a speedy recovery.

Prayers and thoughts with the Boeingfever777/FXramper family!! Thinking of you all.

Hey matt, if you're out there reading this, I would send you a box of KK donuts to assist in your recovery, but I don't think the nurses would let you have them. In all seriousness though, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

kc135topboom · Sat Oct 31, 2009 2:54 pm

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, my friend. I am praying for your speedy and full recovery.

It's events like this that just underscore how quickly the course of one's life can be altered. I've had family members that have suffered strokes, so I have an idea what y'all must be going through right now.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family as well. pray

Sorry to hear about this. Best wishes to Boeingfever777 and family.
I've had relatives that have suffered from stokes and I know how difficult life can be after a stoke.

Speedy recovery! And don't DO that anymore, dude!

Matt,
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Drew txting you as m typing this.

MadameConcorde · Sat Oct 31, 2009 8:19 pm

I hope you will recover from this. I had my own heart failure and was picked up half dead on a street in Monte Carlo less than a month ago. I ended up at the hospital emergency ward and hospitalized for several days with a follow-up by a hospital cardiologist whom I will see again this coming Tuesday for further testing.

This is no fun but it must be taken most seriously.

At least you are not alone, you have your family near you. Also I hope you have good doctors. I hope you will recover, you must do what the doctors tell you and be careful with your diet, no excessive eating or drinking, cholesterol and everything else.

All of us here on the forum are thinking about you and most of all we are wishing you a full recovery.

Wow!! I'm really sorry to hear that about Matt. I don't know him real well but best wishes to him and his wife and Drew. Hope you have a full recovery and take the hint and SLOW DOWN!! Might be a message there for you also Drew; since he is your twin.

Best thoughts with Matt. Way too young for this to happen. Definitely need to get to the bottom of it.

I definitely hope there is no brain damage at any level.
I had the same fear for myself but they scanned me inside and out and my head is fine.

He must make sure that he is in the hands of the best doctors he can find (Texas has very good hospitals) and you all make sure that he will follow on what the doctors tell him to do.

Health is number one. We have only one life. No second chance will be given to us.

I hope he is getting better, slowly but surely. Our thoughts are with him.

That's the first thing to hope for. When my father had his pulmonary embolism, he also had a slight stroke himself (which wasn't even detected until he had a seizure a few months after he was released from the hospital). Combined with the fact that he was in cardiac arrest for a few minutes after arriving at the hospital, it is a miracle that he had only very few lasting effects of this episode.

That being said, I wish Matt a speedy recovery and that no brain damage is detected at all.

kaitak · Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:02 pm

Just a quick note to wish Boeingfever777 a successful return to health. Nowadays, medical science can do a lot for stroke victims and it seems that it was caught quickly - and it really is a question of "the quicker the better"; the fact that he is checking A.net bodes very well. If you're reading this, all the best and wishing you a full recovery.

vaporlock · Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:07 pm

Matt, please get well soon! You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family as well and I know you will have lots of support from them while you are recovering.

Take care and just take one day at a time.

I saw the thread title and feared the worst. Thank God he's doing okay.

Matt, all of our prayers and best wishes are with you. Get well soon! We want you back in the chat Smile

P.S. If you (or your family) need anything and I can be of ANY assistance, let me know (you or Drew). I--rather, we--are all here for you.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I'm doing much better and only have muscle lose in my right arm, short memory lose, and am still sore from all the IV's & shots.

My wife is taking good care of me and I'm resting at my home here in Austin, TX.

Nice win for the Texas Longhorns! Hook'em! Smile

Hey,

Welcome back!!

May you continue your recovery and be 110 percent back to your normal loser self! Haha, a little a.net humor in there, courtesy of this guy's remark to start the thread:

Again, may you continue to do better! Strokes are not fun. I'm at high risk of one myself no thanks to a disfunctional pancreas -- type 1 diabetes!! banghead

It's 25 years exactly now that I've had this abomination!!

Anyway... 'nuff rambling about that! silly

Longhornmaniac · Mon Nov 02, 2009 9:49 pm

Hey Matt,

So glad to hear from you! I'm glad to hear that you're functioning, and that the damage isn't too serious. Hopefully some PT will take care of all of that.

If you need anything, I'm just right up the road! Bro has my #.

Get well soon, buddy!

You'll grow over it & be back in action.

FXramper is one awesome dude, and although I've never had contact with his brother, if he is like him, he's a good guy. Best of luck to both of them. Just remember, FX, those DL execs are the best of the decade. Wink
