Kim Pegula suffered a Cardiac Arrest;Has residual Aphasia and Memory Issues

[Brawndo]

This is concerning 

[That Aud Smell]

Jessica at Wimbeldon and Terry at training camp seemed to give a clear indication that Kim was stable. And there were statements made around that time that she was progressing in her rehab.

Kelly's post seems to acknowledge that her mom's still got a fight on her hands.

I think it was a stroke and she is in the middle of a tough rehab. Hopefully it was caught early enough so there is little permanent damage.

It must be something along those lines. I wish her a full recovery.

Would depend on the type of stroke

I had a coworker who had a bad one. Was laid up for a while. It took time but he got back to his partial self. Lost some motor control on one side, speech was slurred somewhat.

If someone has a stroke, is it ischemic of hemorrhagic? Ischemic is far more treatable, from my understanding, than a brain bleed (hemorrhagic).

This is correct.
 If it was another type of event such as cardiac arrest, depending on how long the patient was without circulation for, an anoxic brain injury becomes a concern

I have no inside knowledge at all, and we all hate to 'guess' but based on the info available I agree. It appears it might be something like a clot or a stroke, and maybe the reason there are few statements about her condition are her 'road back' might include some speech issues (which happen in a lot of those cases.)

Very sad.  Clearly for her to be out of the public eye for 3 months, either the rehab is not going well, or there is some permanent damage that is causing her to stay out of the spotlight.

I'll be honest: I didn't think we'd be 4 months out without a meaningful update on the health of one of the team's owners/presidents.

I can't comment on how I know what I know, but that's an accurate assessment.  Although there is fear "normal" might be a lot different than what it was a year ago.

Just from the length of time Kim has been out of sight suggests this was a bad one. So all we can do is pray she fights her way back but she may never be the same.

I respect your feelings. I do. I look at it as … it’s no one’s funking business what the health is of anyone. It’s only up to the individual if they want their own health status exposed and to what degree. In this case “no news” is good news. And just move past it.

No news is good news?   Is this like fuzzy math?

I talked about this upthread and won't belabour it here. She's an owner of the Bills and Sabres - institutions of great public interest hereabouts. One of those teams was recently the beneficiary of a deal that will give them about $1.4B in public money. So, she's not just anyone. She's not a private citizen. As the people who support the teams and, perhaps moreover, help foot the bill (for the Bills), we're entitled to some information about how she's faring. More information than we have so far anyway. The question of timing is a murky one, I admit. I'm just wondering when more will be made known.

Then they didn't have the right to ask for thoughts and prayers... or however they worded it.

I didn’t think it was possible to raise the level of cynicism around here, but you succeeded. Well done.

His personal vendetta against the Pegulas  reaches the level of obnoxious.

Don't really see it as a vendetta against ownership as much as the board contrarian must always be contradictory.  And, it seems that if he can do it in a noticeable (flamboyant?, controversial?) way he gets more points on his scorecard.

Don't you have to calculate the mythical point total that guarantees a playoff berth? Or work on your perennially pathetic Sabres season prediction? Surprised you have time for this.

It's not personal. OK maybe it is. These rich pricks destroyed MY hockey team.
