Bura update 7/15/02

The truest thing in this entire thread of true things; prayers, love, support, honor, was Bura saying he wanted to make sure we knew the products coming out of the factory to be up to HI standards.

I hope and pray Bura makes it. Not just because he makes the best blades IMHO, but because he means so much to so many. That is the true measure of a man's worth.

Perhaps between the meds and all our prayers This wonderful man will pull through. A prayer is something that all of us can do.
 
I stumbled across an online article which looks relevant:

http://www.med.harvard.edu/publications/On_The_Brain/Volume4/Number3/Brain.html

The medicine may be the 'warfarin' (rat-poison) that the article mentions?:

if somebody has a known heart disease that can generate a blood clot to the brain, an embolism - we can put people on a blood thinner. The one most commonly used is a drug called "warfarin" - rat poison, that's right. It turns out that if you give a very small amount of warfarin, it will thin out the blood enough to reduce the risk of stroke by 75 percent in people with certain kinds of heart diseases that generate emboli.
 
That picture is touching. I imagine me sitting all cushy in England while a man with a blood clot in his brain pounds metal to create something marvelous. We have it lucky !!
 
I really hope Bura pulls through. Have faith in him...he's gotta be a lot stronger than he looks if he pounds steel all day in Birghorkha and scolds all the other kamis for not being up to 'his' standards ;)
 
Uncle Bill, thanks for the updates about Bura and thanks for being there
Please keep us current with any more news about Bura.
To all concerned:
Let's stick with the facts and not presume to know more than we know about the situation....positive or negative.
From what I have read here, there are several opinions being offered about Bura, his dis-ease and treatment when in fact we know only that he has been diagnosed with a blood clot in the brain, he has had several tests, a medical rather than a surgical recomendation has been offered and that he is not feeling well.
Clots have several causes and medical treatment for them is varied. Slow quiet speech does not suggest a stroke and not feeling well is just that, not feeling well.

Blessing to Bura and prayers for his speedy and complete recovery
 
Pragitam; people need to talk. That is how they cope with things. Their opinions aren't hurting Bura, and they are talking to one another.

Just a good thing we're all not clustered around his bedside second guessing the doctor!

Worry leads to opinions and past experience or present knowledge is always welcome as far as I'm concerned.

You live - you learn !!
 
Bura is a tough little buggar as shown by his return to the shop to do what he can even though he can't talk or pound steel. If anybody can make it he will.

Again, the great concern and generous help offered by so many have taken up a great deal of slack and kept the BirGorkha Social Services Fund viable.
