My dad had a stroke...


Recommended Posts

Last thing I'd do was post on any board, personal information, let alone whats happening as regards the health of my family.

Anyway, I hope your father recovers well from this terrible situation.

umm, ok? wtf man. He's the president of a company...do you realize how many times I've had to explain his condition to people? I've been on Neowin for a long time. I have made a tons of friends on here. If i can just post it once and not tell them all individually then why wouldn't I? It's not a secret that he is sick. why would it be?

Anyways, thanks everyone...

As of right now he is exactly the same. There are some tests scheduled for today though.

Maybe I'll post more details as I get them. But since some people don't seem to like it then maybe I won't.

Hey man, my father had 2 strokes over the last 3 years. He wasn't "right" for a month or so - but now leads a health active life, playing golf, flying off to Portugal to do DIY jobs around the villa, etc. People can recover, and moreover DO recover.

Here's to your father blatantly ripping of my dad's idea: getting better!

  • 2 weeks later...
I haven't been around much the last couple weeks anyways, but on Thursday my father had a stroke. I've been at the hospital for the last 2 days. Haven't really had any time to be here. Hopefully soon everything will be back to normal...

I am about to go back to the hospital soon, so I will go into further details when I get a chance.

I'm praying for you and dad.

    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
    • My advice, dont use teams, use the web version if possible. https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/
