From a friend of a friend...
just received the sad news that former Replacements guitarist Bob "Slim" Dunlap suffered a right middle cerebral artery stroke yesterday. According to his wife, Chrissie's FB page: "He then fell and hit his head, resulting in a left vertebral artery dissection and a right subarachnoid hemmorrhage. The good news is that he is sharp and aware, his speech is fine, and all of the nurses and doctors ha...ve commented on his unique sense of humor. The bad news is that he cannot move the right side of his body and will be in for some serious rehab. They will be giving him more tests to determine the extent of the damage." Slim is one of nicest guys on this planet, which makes this all the more sad. Damn, this has been one helluva week...

That was sad to hear, but it sounds like the outlook is positive and that's all you can hope for in these siutations. getting old is fucking brutal.

From Slim's FB fan club tonight...
Mary Lucia - Paulie said that even with eyes closed bob looked like he was itchin to tell a story.
Terry Walsh - And he didn't want to let go of Paul's hand. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
Jimmy Dutch Gaines - Upon seeing Slim, Paul said "I've seen him look worse".

Sounds hopeful- that's good. I know of two others in our area having similar serious brain issues. Lots of good thoughts going out for Slim and the other two. |

The fact that PW visited Slim is very heartwarming for this fan of both Slim and PW. And yes indeed, good thoughts for Slim and other folks who need it right now.
