I walked into the shop this morning and as always Vic (Tony) was setting here on one of the stools. He was looking a little scared. He started talking and i could tell his speech was slurred and that's when he mentioned that something wasn't right. He is scared not knowing what is happening. Don't know if it's a stroke or if it's heart issues. I ask him about his blood sugar. He doesn't get along with doctors and he doesn't want his wife to get hold of this. She freaks out easy and he don't need that. He has no insurance and didn't know where to go for service or to find out what the problem is. I told him to go to the ER as they had to see him. He's gone there now so that's why i'm posting. I'll head that way now and make sure he gets seen. Meantime ya'll might drop a line to the Almighty on his behalf. I'll post more when i know more.......I forgot to punch the post button before i left so here's the story. I left the shop and went to the ER and no Tony. I called him and he was at home with the wife so i told him to get his *** to the ER . He said he was walking out the door right then. I went inside and gave em a heads up on what they had coming in and i ask them how busy they were. He soon arrived and he wasn't in the chair even 3 minutes and they had him hooked up in a room. They ran a CAT Scan but it didn't show much. His speech was still slurred and would come and go so they turned him over to a neurologist. He did have a minor stroke. They did an MRI and an ultrasound of his heart and arteries in his neck. I was there for all of it. Matt, the US guy said it was all good so were waiting to see the results from the MRI. His speech is much much better and i'm trusting he'll be fine in time. I'll go up this evening and check on MRI results and let yall know. They put him in ICU so to monitor him in depth. Karen ,his wife, is a wreck but i told her that Tony would be fine and i believe it.
