This is pretty scary for someone his age

QuoteNew England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on Wednesday after complaining of headaches. WBZ-TV in Boston reported Wednesday that Bruschi had stroke-like symptoms, partial paralysis and blurred vision.

It's a sign of the times that the first thing I thought when I read that was: "Wonder if this was steroids related?"

Is anyone else really happy that he got into the Pro Bowl? I'm not sure how many more, "He's the most underrated middle linebacker in the league" quotes I could handle.

Oh yeah, and get well soon, or something.

It's easy to play MLB well when there's another one there in case you screw up.

Silly 3-4.

Maybe it was a migraine, not a stroke.

I am a migraine sufferer...so bad sometimes I have to go to the hospital.

I have never heard of a migraine sufferer experiencing paralysis.

Bruschi is in our prayers. Get well soon.

Hopefully this is not the same thing that happened to JR Richard. $:-\$

I don't know of anyone who had a migraine that led to paralysis. A stroke is possible at his age, esp. if he's one of the 'roids. The other candidate? Brain tumor, which is unfortunately more likely than a stroke at his age.

He's a good player. I wish he and his family all the best.

Greenfeather · February 17, 2005, 01:10:07 PM

Here is hoping the he will back on his feet soon.

I'm not a doctor, but it may be possible. Most of the time, migraines are caused by spinal problems. I've had chronic migraines ever since I shattered a windshield with my face in a car wreck when I was 11. I just started seeing a chiropractor for many of the problems. The spine is basically the epicenter for the whole body. I hope that his doctors can figure out what is causing this. Best wishes, Tedy.

It's not a migraine, it was a stroke and it looks like his playing days are over...which I know every Patriots fan is positively sick over:

Bruschi broke blood vessel in head

Tedy Bruschi will remain in Massachusetts General Hospital while he undergoes more tests after suffering a broken blood vessel in his head, a Patriots team source told the Globe.

Bruschi is "sitting up in bed'' and talking, the source said.

The Patriots' Pro Bowl linebacker was admitted to the hospital Wednesday after suffering from persistent headaches and partial paralysis. The paralysis is now gone.

A Patriots spokesman said Wednesday night that Bruschi was in "good condition.''

QB Eagles · February 17, 2005, 04:19:50 PM

Wow. It's not even about playing with the Patriots at this point. My mind just goes back to him playing with his kids before the Super Bowl. Hopefully he'll retire and get the best treatment he can get to avoid further strokes.
