So, what would you rather hear? The "new" lost Mozart song or
Rumours?
Partridge Family? After the Brady Bunch, they could not hold a candle.
On the 4th day after my dad's stroke, he became unresponsive and lethargic. I told the doctors and they told me he was just "tired." Turned out his brain was swelling and once they actually acknowledged this, they removed his right skull flap to relieve the pressure.
After that crisis was over, I asked them why they hadn't realized his brain was swelling immediately and they said that due to his age (75) they didn't think it was likely, because although swelling is common after a stroke, the brain usually shrinks so much by the time you're that old that it doesn't outgrow the skull even when it swells. So, they never considered it might be pressing against his skull.
Anyway, be happy about your diminishing muscle and brain tissue. It might save your life.
