JoeF Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 The guy is just a player...hope he is okay. That shot of him playing with his sons on the field before the Super Bowl was just a classic moment. I pray for him and those two little guys... SI Story

udonkey Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I hate the Patriots as much as anyone, but damn, I hope he's ok.
BF_in_Indiana Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 It's awful and I hope he's alright, but a stroke is most likely a sign he is using something he shouldn't be.

mcjeff215 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 It's awful and I hope he's alright, but a stroke is most likely a sign he is using something he shouldn't be. 242929[/snapback] That's one possibility, but there are 1000 reasons one might have a stroke. I put too much faith in people still, but I highly doubt Bruschi would be into that...
BF_in_Indiana Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I just read that article and it doesn't say anything about a stroke. He just admitted himself because he was having headaches.
gmac17 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I really hope he is ok. I hope it wasn't a stroke, but it if was brace yourself for the speculation.
CosmicBills Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Where's the article, I can't find it on CBS or ESPN...
JoeF Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 There's a link to the SI story in my post above....there are several articles on the web...
mcjeff215 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I believe the first thing most docs will do when they run into someone complaining of a headache is snap a CT to look for abnormalities such as tumors or adema. I'd be more worried of something like that, honestly. Then again, I'm no doctor, I just stayed at a holiday inn express last night...
BILLS02138 Posted February 17, 2005 Author Posted February 17, 2005 Where's the article, I can't find it on CBS or ESPN... 242936[/snapback] I just heard it on the news here in Boston. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/foot...hihospitali.ap/

mary owen Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 It's awful and I hope he's alright, but a stroke is most likely a sign he is using something he shouldn't be. 242929[/snapback] BF, Strokes can be caused by previous neck or head injuries as well. More likely that than what you are quick to speculate about. But then again, you never know... STROKE RISKS High blood pressure is the number one reason that you might have a stroke. The risk of stroke is also increased by age, family history of stroke, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Certain medications promote clot formation and may increase your chances for a stroke. One example is birth control pills, especially if a woman taking them also smokes and is older than 35. Women have a risk of stroke during pregnancy and the weeks immediately after pregnancy. Overall, however, more men have strokes than women. Cocaine use, alcohol abuse, head injury, and bleeding disorders increase the risk of bleeding into the brain. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/ar...0risk%20factors

I really hope whatever is wrong with him IS natural.
Arkady Renko Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 It's awful and I hope he's alright, but a stroke is most likely a sign he is using something he shouldn't be. 242929[/snapback] Or something that comes from the violent sport of pro football?
RJsackedagain Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I don't understand how you get he's having a stroke based on the SI link
