Universal Monster Army

Hi
My name is Kat and I am WL's wife. I'm not sure how to navigate this site or really how to post but I wanted you to know that Mike has been having some serious inner ear equilibrium issues the last few weeks. He was a trooper going to work but on weekends was usually incapacitated. On this last Weds he thought he was having just another bad issue but also had weakness in the legs and had a hard time breathing. By 12:30pm he was in the ER getting checked out. BP 217/140+ Chest X-ray ,3 blood draws , Cat scan , MRI, CTI, EEG and a couple other minor tests. Outcome on top o inner ear issues that still have to be dealed with he had a minor stroke. He came home last night and actually made it to friends for a walk with the dogs and a drink. Ended up having a very depressive panic attack black out and today is not the guy he used to be. Very scared because there is an artery at the base of the brain that they cannot do much for. If it goes so does he. He is not religious but is a semi spiritual Pagan. He is always telling me about the paranormal posts what with the issues with our place. So any good vibes would be appreciated because he is really scared he is going either end up an invalid or dead. You are the only online friends he has and very few elsewhere.

Thank you
Kat

Kat, prayers are going up for a complete and total recovery, and for your peace during this time. Thanks for letting us know.

We are with you, and the two of you are with us.

God Bless and Blessed Be..

"E"

Kat, my prayers go out to you and W.L.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Kat...WL has MANY friends here and i know i speak for all of them when i say we are keeping him in our thoughts and hearts and hope he somehow pulls himself out of this terrible situation. Strength to him, you and everyone helping him to get past this.

Kat, ABSOLUTELY you have all manner of healing thoughts, every kind of positive vibe, and all sorts of prayers of every type coming from here at the UMA.  This is a widely varied group--we may be very "different", but we are all united in important ways.  Tell Lester that he's being thought of constantly at this time and that we all send our best vibes in his direction!

Kat,

Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery for Mike. I'm sure his many UMA friends will be keeping him in their thoughts.

Kat, Mike is a favorite here.  I'm sure that all who know him here are sending their love and care.  My best wishes and prayers to you and Mike.

Kat, please let me know if it is possible to get a mailing address.  You can send me a personal message with an address, if you choose.

I've been reading Wicked Lester's posts since I joined the UMA a few years ago. As a fellow KISS fan, it was clear to me where he got his screen name (from another army!). I'm very sorry to hear about his health scare, and I hope soon he is able to return to the old Wicked Lester we all know. Thanks for keeping his friends here informed. We wish him the best for a speedy recovery and good health. I'm glad he has you to take care of him in his time of need.

Kat and Mike:

All love and good wishes to you both in this time of struggle.
Mike, get better quickly for Kat's sake.
Kat, be there for you are what he needs.
The two of you together are infinitely stronger than either of you alone.

The rest of us will be standing by sending our blessings,
good thoughts, hopes, prayers, and wishes for the both of you.

May you have -
Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks bedside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire

I'm so sorry to hear this.  Positive vibes and prayers going out to Mike.  Here's hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

Shocked and saddened by this news..........love and prayers from all of us at Castle Scatter.

Kat, thanks for letting us know.  Sending prayers for a speedy recovery. 

Anyone have an address?

BK

Zapping positive vibes out my fingertips right now, sending them flying through the stratosphere direct to Mike's brain.  Be gone, stroke demons, be gone.  Get better Mike! 

God Bless! Our prayers are with you.

Terrible news. Wishing for the best for both of you.

WL is in my prayers.  May he have a speedy recovery.

My Prayers are with WL and his family.

Terrible news.

Positive thoughts and prayers for my friend Mike.

Kat- Thank you for taking the time to tell us about Mike's health issues. He is such a precious friend and one of the coolest people at the UMA :)
I will surely keep him in my thoughts and send positive vibes (and say a prayer tonight). I know he is a strong person and I have confidence that he will recover from this ordeal, and be back here sharing his love of monsters and music. Please let him know that we are all thinking about him, and will do what we can to support him through this. I also would like to send my support to you. I hope you can find the strength when you need it, and get some rest and take care of yourself as well, Kat. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us, and please let me know what we can do. I'll PM you my phone #.   

With whatever powers of darkness this old Hungarian count still retains, and by the powers of my ancesters Vlad Dracula and Elizabeth Bathory, "WICKED LESTER, I COMMAND YOU TO FULLY RECOVER!"

I've also asked the local Wiccan coven, Sisters of the Silver Moon, to offer up prayers, as well as a Wiccan high priest that lives in Athens, GA, who's a very good friend of mine.

Man! - I just talked with Mike through pm's a couple of weeks ago - he told me he was feeling pretty crappy.  I am so sorry he's going through this.  He is a big support for me and the health problems I've had.  What a great guy!  Prayers, good vibes, and the whole shebang are heading his way as I type this.  Sending some for you, also, Kat - please keep us posted.

Add me to the listed of those hoping for a full and fast recovery.  Hopefully this hospital is properly equipped for neurology or will send him to one that is.  Tell him not to give up and to remain positive.  We're not done with him and I'm sure you (Kayt) and the rest of his friends and family have future plans for him. 

Rob

Kat, keep us posted, & tell Mike we're thinking about him!!

-PAUL LUNDY

Any news on Mike, Kat?? Anybody have an address?

Positive thoughts and vibes to Mike and his family; Hoping for speedy recovery for WL!

Hope you are feeling better soon, Mike.  Prayers coming your way.

Kat, prayers from here for Mike - and for you.

-Craig

Thoughts and prayers go out to both of you. Hoping for a speedy recovery for WL.

Get well soon, Lester...

Yes, our very very best prayers and wishes going out to both of you. 

I don't know how he'd feel about it, but I had him, under his handle here, put on my church's prayer list.

Best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery. Take it slow, relax and hope to hear from you soon.

Kat, thank you for letting us know. As everyone has said, we're here to offer support and wishes of a speedy recovery to both you and Mike. Please call on us if there's something we can do to help.

   Prayers sent out for you Lester.  Thanks kat for letting us know. 

I'm very sorry to hear about Wicked Lester's health problems. He's one of the best fellows/posters on this board.

That's the only negative about this or any discussion forum. You make online friends and then all of a sudden....

:(

Sending positive vibes! Wishing a speedy recovery for Wicked Lester!

Man I hate hearing this but glad you let us know.  Best thoughts, wishes, and prayers go out to you and your family.  Hope you get better real soon Wicked Lester!

Anyone know how our boy Mike is doing?

Hey gang
Thank you for all the concern ,well wishes and prayers. I have had some inner ear issues for a while and on Weds I thought it was just a bad attack. But when I had a hard time breathing ,weak legs and the shakes the wife talked me into goin into the ER. My BP had peaked at 217/140 something. EKG ,3 blood draws, CT scan ,MRI ,MRA and EEG. Minor stroke. I'm glad that there is no tumor but I have a thin artery on the left side of the back of the brain that if it pops I am dust. Cleaning up the diet which used to be really clean but just has turned to crap the last couple years. Cutting back slowly on the drinking and I am now on 3 BP scripts .bad cholesteral and found out that one of my heart walls has thickened so I am on an aspirin therapy.
Came home late Friday night and was so happy to be off bed arrest that I pushed my luck by walking down to my neighbors having a couple shots and a few beers. The enormity of what happened sinked in and I ended up having a massive panic attack blackout.
Sunday morning I woke up at around 4:30am hungry and went downstairs to get a quick glass of milk. Halfway down everything starting spinning and going black. I tried to make it back to bed but passed out in the hallway. Kat wanted to call 911 but I talked her out of it. Took about 10 minutes to crawl back into bed. I was hoping to go back to work tomorrow but that ain't gonna happen. The depression is up 5 fold and this is totally messing with my head.

Thank you all again and I'll check in in another day or two.

Mike

Mike, glad to hear from you, and prayers for a total recovery will continue...

Hang in there!! We "Mikes" have to stick together!!!

Mike

Great to at least see you posting, Mike - you're a tough guy and CAN get through this!

Love ya, bro -

Mike- Thank you for letting us know how you're doing. :)  I've been sending those vibes, as requested, and I said a prayer for you as well.  You are such a cool guy, and are so knowledgeable about music and monsters alike! We all need your company- even if it's 5 minutes per week, so hang in there and keep us in the know. We have had a few ugly health scares around here, so nothing you tell us will scare us away  :)  Your wonderful wife was so very thoughtful to share this with us, and I am so glad she did! Tell her thanks,and give her a hug from me. PM me anytime you guys need anything.

Mike, make helping you easy on Kat.  She loves you obviously and needs you around.  Even if you think you're alright, go to the doctor or hospital if things don't feel right.  Do it for her.

We're all doing our own thing to send you prayers, karma, vibes, whatever...  Good to hear from you. 8)

Exactly as Sean said--you're gettin' the full treatment from HERE--karma, prayers, vibes and all.  But in your own bailliwick, take it slow and easy--one step at a time.  Take the pills, stay a little quiet, watch some good movies --some horror, some COMEDIES--and laugh whenever you can.  You didn't become ill overnight--so don't try to rush things and run marathons overnight, either!  We're here for you, and positive thoughts are headed in your direction hourly.

Yes, all good advice...follow your doctor's orders, rest, laughter and all other healthy diversions. Thanks for checking in WL, You know we're all pullin' for you here.  We already know your support system at home is grade A. Just give yourself the time you need to heal and try to r-e-l-a-x.

WL, do what the docs tell you. Meanwhile, a plethora of deities are being asked to intercede on your behalf. (EXCEPT CTHULHU. He's still being an ass over that $11 he claims you've owed him ever since you bet him he couldn't get Janet Jackson to pop her top during the halftime show at Super Bowl whatever.)

Best wishes and glad to see you've posted since it happened.  I hear the best medicine is UNIVERSAL.  A vampire can help leech the poisonous cholesterol out of your system.  Frankie can show you how to make yourself into a new man.  Wolfie can show you how to fight anything.

So sorry to hear this ....

My prayers are with you ...

May you swiftly fly up the stairs of recovery ...

Good to see your post, Mike.

As folks have said: listen to the Medicos, take it slow, and care for the machine.

-Craig

Positive thoughts to you, Lester.  Rely on your family and friends and let go of your burden of worry.  Peace to you.
John

Glad to see you posting again!  Still praying for you Bro and listen to the doctors.  I know it sucks sometimes but we got to do what we have to.

Mike, glad to see a post from you brother. Hang tough buddy.

hope your doing a lot better Lester, just take it easy and relax and i'm sure all will work out fine for you, best wishes to you, hope to see you back on the daily forums,

WL, just found this thread, man, the very best, positive thoughts are flying your way. Thank you so much for posting to let us know you're up and about.
Good news is you've gotten a little "wake up call". PLEASE listen to the doctors and take care of yourself.
Do you do Mindfulness Yoga? Relax the body, mind and spirit.
Kat, you take care of yourself as well - a big mental hug to you both.

Chris

Wicked Lester!  I hope you are doing better, my friend!   :)  We are all in this together, and ain't none of us getting any younger around here  :)
It sure was easier when we didn't have to be grown-ups! But you have a young soul and excellent taste in music- so keep thinking those positive thoughts and you'll make it through this....I gotta good feeling   :)

Hey everyone.
I was hoping to go back to work this week. Yea,right! :o The neurologist I had in the hospital totally sucked. No compassion non nonchalant this is what it is I'll be on my way now. I need a work release and my GP was not comfortable giving me one. So I called the neuro for a quick appt. and release. "sorry , can't get you in until the end of the month." WTF u6juu.! I have a job I need to get to. I am burning ALL my time off. I am bored by now watching old cop show DVDs 12 hours a day and my meds still make me tired. Kat works for another hospital and knows some people in power. Got hooked up with a Neuro from her place and I hope to be back to work by the 21st of the month. Even tho this was a minor stroke it is still messing with my head and I know I have lost my ability to be totally coherent all the time. I was not expecting anything like this for at least another 10-12 years.


Mike

What kind of job won't give you more time off for a stroke?

Quote from: raycastile on February 11, 2012, 12:05:09 AM
What kind of job won't give you more time off for a stroke?

These days? Most of them.
The problem is the neuro is being a raging 'rhoid, and should have given him a work excuse form before discharging him from the hospital. I mean, seriously, what kinda quack tells you that you've got to wait a month before he'll sign the paper saying your head's too scrambled to go back to work right now?

It's gotta be frustrating for now.  Just get better, dude!

Think long term, Mike.  Kat needs you around.  Don't rush back in only to have a set back.  Listen to the Docs.  Get well, rest.  Watch monster movies.

Take care of yourself Lester,

Good to hear from you...

Glad to hear from you Mike, just be easy dude, no sense in pushing it.

Be good and hope to hear from you soon.

I'm the last person to be giving this kind of advice but... listen to the doctors... for a little while at least.  Take care of yourself and learn to listen to your body.

Take Care Lester, my whole household wish you well !!

Wow. That's awful, dude. Take it easy, and hope everything works out for the best!

Yeah no rush, try to use your time off to relax and get your mind in the right place.  I prescribe playing with childhood toys for 2 hours a day  and a heavy dose of horror movies.

Hey
Finally saw the neurologist today. Did some quick tests and issues that have been going on. I have to see an ENT specialist in a couple weeks. I may have an inner ear issue known as Ménière's disease. It is life long with no cure. I'll be taking yet more medication which may drop my BP even more on top of the ramped up BP meds I am now on. If my BP goes up it increases the fluid level in the inner ear and screws up my balance and cognitive thinking. Think of smacking a gryoscope. I finally did get a work release which is good. I may spend the rest of my life feeling like I am standing in a row boat on a lake ,which sucks.. I barely passed the balance test but at least I can talk and move almost normal. I know there are some of you guys and girls that have some major health issues going on as well and I can really relate. Five years ago I was doing a cross fit regime of training and now I am barely hanging on to normalcy. I've also been having major sleep issues and panic attacks that come out of the blue even if I am relaxed and just watching TV which at times make me want to freak out and run thru the front door.. Being a pretty fit guy for many years and have so many issues just slam me in the face all at once is really getting to me. As long as I hang onto my job and sanity I'll be OK.

Thanks for reading
Brother Lester.

WL- I was gonna PM you and see if you were doing any better, so this is great timing! Whew!! That's a lot of stuff to process. I can only hope that the drs. are giving you a worst case scenario, and that you'll not have to live with all the balance issues you're currently having. But I am sure that the fact that you are phsically fit probably will help you get better sooner than later.  I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing all this crap at once! We are about the same age, so I can empathize with you by putting myself in your shoes. Please keep coming on here and letting us know when you've made progress, or you're feeling like talking about music/monsters ,or any other reason. We've been missing you around here   :) 

Mike - I am sorry to hear about all the crap you are having to deal with. I've been having my own issues with balance since April of last year and I know just how awful and debilitating it can be. I've had a zillion tests, seen an ENT and neurologist, been doing physical therapy, and still don't have a solid diagnosis. But there has been some improvement. But it's very frustrating to have that feeling like your senses are not in calibration. I see the neuro tomorrow for another evaluation so maybe he'll figure something out. I've done a lot of the tests for balance issues so if you have questions or just want to vent, feel free to PM me. I've had a few health issues the last 10 years but this has been the most frustrating of all. I definitely understand why you are stressed out and have had sleep issues (me too).

Karen

Karen & Mike - Having had balance problems & occasional vertigo off and on for years, I understand a little of what it's like.  But, what you two are dealing with sounds so frustrating - I feel for you both.  Mike, I'm glad you're getting some answers, at least.  You're a tough dude! 

And Karen's a damn Superhero!

Hole Lee Krap! Can't a man disappear for a time, and not have one of his buddies fall a part! Sorry sorry to hear Wicked! We're pulling for you pal...and that includes my Little Man and I know yours as well.

Man gettin' old sucks...but thanks go to our better halves in trying to keep us going.

Get better pal, we love you and need ya on here.

Best OG/Rob

Dude I would so be there!

Can't we get an island? Something off the coast of Virginia or the Carolinas where there are wild ponies?

if we're going island, let's get a tropical one!

Isn't there a little Island off of the coast of LaMirada, Florida....with a castle?

As long as there's a cave, I'm in!

Scatter ain't going nowhere it doesn't snow.

Great to hear from you!  Hang in there brother!

BK

Kat-- sorry I just saw this.

I am a medical doctor, and I want to give one important bit of advice: get a second opinion. I don't know where you and Mike live, but huge advances have been made in the last few years with minimally and non-invasive cerebral angiography interventional techniques. Most major university medical centers have this capability. I urge you to check one of them out for a second opinion.

Best wishes to you and Mike,

Matt Jaycox

Hang in there Brother, I have a major medical problem with my lymphedema and they put me on disability.  Still fighting to get compression garments that fit.  I have wasted so much money on garments that don't function right and still have to wrap my legs with bandages to keep them from swelling.  Wish I could get the ones that fit or some Circades I could afford.  But the main thing is to keep fighting and don't give up, and make sure you are the best you can be.  It's hard for sure but it makes us stronger.  Oh and I am ready for the UMA commune and drive-in theater!  That would be so cool!

Hope All Go's Well, Here's to Thinking Good Thought's.  >:D

CreepysFan, I PM-ed Mike last week but I haven't heard anything.  I'm hoping for the best, too  :) I really miss him on the board.

Hopefully he is focusing on getting better and that is why we haven't heard from him.

I know, Moonshadow. I could kick myself because I had his home address on a piece of paper, and it got misplaced before I could write it down in my address book. ugh!
I would love to send a card or a treat, but I didn't want to bother them and PM W.L. again. I really hope he feels better physically, and has more peace of mind. He's a cool guy and his presence is a joy.

Still sending positive vibes his way. Need to remind my Wiccan friends to keep hugging trees for him.

In this case my (wishful) thinking is no news is good news since otherwise his wife would have told us differently.

Hey
Before I spend time posting stuff I was wondering if there was any interest in these genres reprint pulps and 70's weird mystery pulp digests. If there is I'll post some stuff  ,if not I'll just box them up.

I have stuff from Adventure House and the like as well as titles from the 70's like startling Mystery etc and H.C's as well. BTW prices would be pretty cheap as I would not be reading the ones I'd let go again. I have a lot of stuff to still read.

Hey all
The many meds are working wonders. My avg BP is down from a rested 165/105 to 128/80 with a 62 pulse. Sometimes it plummets to 95/68 with a 56 pulse if I take the wrong meds at the wrong time so I am STILL tweaking. Even after a weight W.O on Sunday it was 137/87 with a 111 pulse 1 minute afterwards. The meds my Neuro gave me for balance has been a F'N godsend. I still have a few minor balance issues but no longer feel like I drank a couple shots a sixpack in an hour and am standing in a rowboat. I felt like that for over 2 mos 24/7 and my work greatly suffered. I know that the now 9 meds I am on may shorten my life but OFW! I do what I gotta do. I'm tired of feeling like crap for mos on end. On the down side my depression and A.D.D has ramped up and I have lost interest in things I used to be passionate about. I guess it's a trade off.

Good to hear from you, WL! Glad you're having some success with your meds and I hope some of the other problems will clear up, too! Like the kitty says, "hang in there"!

Mike!  You da man!  Glad you're with us.   8)

Don't settle. They can tweak your meds further. Also, as you get healthier, they can cut back on certain meds that may be amping up your depression and ADD. Keep up the workouts, that's probably the best thing you can be doing.

Glad to see you back, and that you are doing better. I hope that things continue to improve, and like the good Count said, the docs need to find something that works for you. Make sure you feel like you're getting good care. (Nowadays, that sometimes seems impossible, I know). But don't give up.

Well put , Bill - And ditto from me.

So has anyone heard from Wicked Lester in the past month?

???

Hep, I PM-ed him for his birthday, but I have not directly heard from him. I sure hope he's doing better and feeling well.  He's a great guy  :)

Hey Mike, long time no hear, nice to see you posting!!!!

\m/

Actually he hasn't been around for more than a month - which is why I'm asking.

:-\

Shame, I was never around when he post new stuff which I would read. He sure sounds like a fun guy...

I hope he will be okay soon.

Actually he hasn't been around for more than a month - which is why I'm asking.

:-\

I could've sworn he posted recently, but it appears I'm wrong! Geez, now I'm worried, too. Hope he's just resting up and is doing OK. Any info wouid be appreciated, though.
