Our friend who had the stroke is home and doing very well! Thank you to everyone who remembered him in your prayers. I don't know what the miracle drug was that they gave him, but apparently, if it's given withing three hours of the stroke, there is a good chance that the stroke victim will have very little or no debilitation. Charles is pretty much back to normal. He is looking and feeling good according to the family, only tired, and we hope to be able to see him soon.
The fire from the train derailment that happend about four days ago and that caused some families to have to evacuate is finally out. Yes, it has taken this long! The original fire was burning for more than a day, then they piped the chemicals that were in two of the damaged tanker cars (that had not ruptured or caught fire in the accident) into a field where a pit had been dug, and then the chemicals were set on fire; a controlled fire, this time, of course. I believe the last of that fire was extinguished late Saturday. The families were allowed to go to their homes for 45 minutes only today to check on pets and possessions, but were allowed to take out very few things, and still cannot go home. I think there are only around a dozen families that are actually displaced right now. Investigations into the derailment are still ongoing.

So glad your friend is doing well. Wish my husband could have had this drug but it probably wasn't available at that time plus he was diagnosed as inter ear infection for a week until I convinced him to get a second opinion. Can I say quack doctor here! That must be terrible for those folks to have to leave their homes. You have a nice Sunday, Paula
Glad to hear your friend is doing well!! That must of been some fire....WOW!!!
Hugs

Good to hear Charles is on the way to recovery. The wonderdrug - may well be good old plain aspirin. And pleased to hear that yon fire is finally out. It's always tricky with chemicals.
