______________________________________________

I've received a very brief but disturbing message from our good friend, Gord Green. Here's the complete text, copied exactly the way it appears in from my inbox.

I had a stroke. it

Gentlemen, it appears that Gordon Green is suffering from the same tragic condition which All Sci-Fi's co-site administrator, Randy Everett, suffered several years ago before he eventually passed away.

I'm deeply moved by the way the Gordon felt such a strong need to convey that message to me, despite how difficult it was for him.

However, my father suffered a stroke back in the 1980s, and he was able of recover. So I'm hopeful that Gordon will manage to have the same success!

And since he frequently visits All Sci-Fi, I hope our members will add encouraging words to this thread so we can cheer him on during his recovery!

This is such unwelcome news. I hope it's significantly recoverable. We need you here with us, Gord.

GREAT NEWS! Very Happy

I received an incredible All Sci-Fi private message from Gord Green! The text below is the update he sent me concerning his recent health issue.
______________________________________________

I had a subdural hematoma (bleeding in the brain). The area affected was on the left side of the brain which controls language. I couldn't talk or write, but I could read.

I spent the last 10 days in the hospital — 5 days in intensive care. I'm recovering quickly and anxious to post on All Scifi!

I was overjoyed when I read the above PM from Gordon! And I know all the members of All Sci-Fi share my happiness.

Here's a special "get well soon" card for our good friend Gord Green!

That's a relief! It was sounding pretty scary there.

Agreed! I was extremely worried that Gordon would suffer the same sad fate as our former co-site administrator, Randy Everett! Shocked

Randy had a series of strokes that eventually brought about the demise of my generous and very kind friend.

So, imagine my shock and delight when I received that unexpected PM from him, with the good new that he was recovering! Very Happy

Gord Green has been a loyal member of All Sci-Fi for more than eight years, and he's made almost 3,000 contributions — almost 3,000 posts, the third highest posts-count on the board!

We need Gord Green and his valuable comments to All Sci-Fi, and I'm sure we're all grateful that he's recovering.

Glad you're doing better, Gord!

Here's hoping that you'll be back up and break-dancing with the rest of us soon! Very Happy
