Take care of yourself, Pete. We need you around here!

Yo Pete,

get well soon! It's not the same around here without your posts...

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 15th, 2007, 12:40 pm

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Be patient as we don't become ill overnight and shouldn't expect recovery to be overnight. Slow and easy as a self-working effect.

stroke sucks, huh?

Only those who have suffered a stroke or had a loved one suffer a stroke fully understand the above comment. That sums it up quite well.

Pete, best wishes for a full recovery. An encore performance is not required! Take care.

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon with Pete at the hospital. He is doing very well!! Has complete use of his entire body and speech.

Just as I arrived he recieved a call from Jay Leno.

Pete should be home Tuesday. The doctors want to assess his reaction to one more medication.

He is aware of the many well wishers on the forum and is most appreciative. He hopes to get online as soon as he is home.

GREAT NEWS! Just had a chat with Pete: They released him from the hospital!

(I think they threw him out, but whos to really say) Hell be online later. Right now, hes taking it easy. The important thing is that hes home and okay!

Welcome back, Pete!

David Oliver · Postby **David Oliver** » October 17th, 2007, 8:33 pm

I thought it was a typo that should have read "Pete Biro had a stroke.... of genius!"

Either way, welcome back, Pete!

Very glad you're home and on the mend. Warm wishes for your continued recovery!

Glad you're back my friend. Tabby said you stopped by to see him the last time you were out this way. I let him know what happend.

Once you get past rehab, you'll be back to 100% im sure. you sure are a stubborn one :)

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 17th, 2007, 8:50 pm

Glad to know you're doing better, Pete. Be well...

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 18th, 2007, 3:38 pm

Hey Pete,

If you need some motivation,
call dad, and he'll give
you some good 'ole Chinese
therapy...and whatever.

Just because he has an extra
hole in his head, only meant they
found out he DOES have
a brain.

knock on head.

:p

Pete Biro · Postby **Pete Biro** » October 18th, 2007, 4:42 pm

My goal is 110%

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 18th, 2007, 7:04 pm

You heard it here first:
1. Get plenty of rest,
2. Drink lots of fluids [chicken soup and (or) Johnny Walker Black are said to work wonders], &
3. Always remember: In all honesty, it ain't the same w/o you and your zazz.

that's doesn't work at all.

All stroke survivors need this:

1. light a fire under ass
2. get scolded once a day, every day
3. hugs & kisses all day

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 18th, 2007, 8:19 pm

--Fire under ass: check.
--Scold every day (I'll think of something...): check.
--Hugs and kisses. Look, I'd love to pitch-in any way I can, and I guess I'd volunteer to hug and smooch Pete a little if it'd help (who wouldn't?)--but how many times do we actually have to make out?

Pete: please contact mai-ling and work out details.

Rick Ruhl · Postby **Rick Ruhl** » October 18th, 2007, 8:46 pm

Dave, you're missing out. Think about all the fun you and Pete would have, and he might even let you play with his cups and balls.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 18th, 2007, 8:53 pm

Why, Mr. Ruhl! :rolleyes:

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 19th, 2007, 12:27 am

Good to hear (read) the latest about Peteand "direct from the horse's mouth" so I'll stay tooned.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 19th, 2007, 3:12 pm

Sneaky way of trying to get out of the Strolling Olympics on Monday. But you should be well enough by then :D

Anyway, so glad you are doing well my friend, you are in my prayers.

Glad to hear you're on the mend Pete, from all your UK pals.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 25th, 2007, 4:31 pm

Pete,

Just heard (have been laid up) so was shocked BUT relieved to hear you are doing better. Keep getting better, because we may not say it enough but the truth is WE NEED YOU!

Many thanks. please pass a hug and a hello on to your Dad. I'm pretty OK on the movement and speach, just tired out and no appetite (lost 15 lbs. which is great).

Rick Ruhl · Postby **Rick Ruhl** » October 28th, 2007, 10:45 am

Hell of a way to lose 15 lbs. You know walking and eating less is really the way to do it!

;)

I've been taking 6 meds, 3 vitiams and 1 asprin in the morning and two meds every night for my daibetes. Talk about trying to keep meds in order. I feel for you :)

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 28th, 2007, 3:52 pm

it is true that no matter how minor or severe
your stroke is, you loose your endurance.

just getting to the bathroom can be tiresome.

by the time you finish you need a nap!

Pete Biro · Postby **Pete Biro** » October 28th, 2007, 7:07 pm

I got out and walked 3 blocks today.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » October 28th, 2007, 8:01 pm

Pete - Great to hear! Thinkin' of you with best wishes, Charley
