Clutch

[bamagirl]

If any of you venture over to PCBEach and want a night of some good entertainment, please check out CLUTCH on Thomas Drive at the Fishstock Rest.

They have been playing at Breakers, but have a new home now this summer. Breakers is telling visitors coming in to see them, that CLUTCH has broken up. NOT TRUE PEOPLE!! Just one of the "old members" has stayed around to form a house band at Breakers. Nothing compared to CLUTCH though. They only play Wed thru Saturday and make reservations as they book up early.

i dont post much and you all dont know me, but i need a favor. A CLutch member is fighting for his life as i type this. Kevin (johnny Bravo, aka Rod Stewart) went into Bay Medical with a blood clot in his leg that has dislodged and caused a stroke in the brain. He is on a respirator and could use our prayers. They didnt give him much hope to survive the night, but power of prayer got him through. He is having surgery right now as well for testing to see how much damage has been done. Please lift this man up in your prayers. I would most appreciate it.

Thanks

Bamagirl,
I am so sorry to hear this about your friend/Clutch member.
I do have an important question tho, are there symptoms to this? He's probably fairly young, correct? I have had pain each night for the past few nights, behind a knee and it feels like a knot.

[bamagirl]

I have no idea what his symptoms were but he had not felt well for a while. I personally have had problems with my leg after having twins 13 yrs ago. They did a doppler and it was just something minor. If you feel a knot, please do not hesitate to see a doctor ASAP. This post may be a sign for you to do something.

Kevin is in his 50's and still has alot of life to live. So please keep the prayers coming. Below is a link to their site. You will see Kevin as Rod Stewart in the bio section.

Thank you all so much

[Johnrudy]

Thanks for your wise advice. Your friend is in my prayers. Keep us posted.

[Miss Kitty]

God Bless your friend, bamagirl.

[kimbug]

Sounds like Kevin has a good friend in you, bamagirl. Hope he gets well soon.

Bamagirl, we will keep your friend in our prayers.

Johnrudy, my sister, 39 y.o. and a small person, has had a blood clot in her leg, actually it is DVT (deep vein thrombosis?). Had to be completely off her legs for 2 weeks. Has been on blood thinners for about 2 months now. She told me that her doctor said it would have been worse had it been behind her knee. So you might want to call your doc tomorrow and just ask if it is anything you should be concerned about. Let us know.

[InletBchDweller]

My mom loves clutch and yes I thought that they had broken up so I am glad to hear otherwise...


I hope that your friend turns out ok

OK, now I've had 3 very nice & concerned people advise me to call the dr. which I plan on doing as soon as they open tomorrow. I'm actually kind of skeered to go to sleep tonight! :shock:
Thanks.

[bamagirl]

Awwwwwww i didnt mean to scare you. I am so sorry. Just say a prayer and i am sure you will have a peaceful sleep. I have not heard any news today on Kevin. He was suppose to have some surgery at noon and my friend that is supplying me with info, has heard nothing. So of course i am concerned. We are just thinking "no news is good news". I have plans to drive to PC this weekend to surprise some friends of ours we havent seen in a couple of years and was excited to go see CLUTCH. I hope and pray things will be better by then.

Thank you all in your prayers. And Johnrudy, get yourself to the doctors tomorrow. Keep us posted as i will say prayers for you as well.

Oh, no need to apologize. I should'nt have highjacked your post to be about me. It's just been a good reminder for me to get myself checked out and thank you for that. Sometimes a little scare can save lives!

Please let us know how your friend is doing.

[bamagirl]

Well he is still hanging on as of last night. Reports are that he is following commands such as grasping and letting go of your hand, and a friend was feeding him ice in which he clamped down on the stick and wouldnt let it go. LOL! So maybe some of our prayers have been answered. Not out of the woods yet and he still may loose his leg. Please keep the prayers going.

Johnrudy, have ya checked with your doc yet about your leg problems?

Oh bamagirl, I was hoping your friend was coming along better. I know that any progress is good but it appears to be slow.

I did call my dr. yesterday, he had me go to the ER to have the ultra sound. It is not a blood clot but a meniscus problem causing the pain. Sounds sort of weird to me, it being knotted up in the back of my knee, but I'm just thankful that's all it is. He's referred me to an orthopedic surgeon so I'll go from there. I had knee surgery 20 yrs. ago so this must be an "age" thing, since I AM getting "older!" :eek:

But thank you for your helpful post and a reminder that we should never ignore certain symptoms.

We will continue to keep your friend in our thoughts.

I'm glad it's the "age" thing and nothing more serious, JR. I've been watching to see what you found out. Whew!
Bamagirl-I wish the best for your friend and I hope that he is out of the woods soon.

Thanks! I was worried about walking for exercise, afraid it would dislodge! Ha! As soon as I got the good word, I took John & Rudy for a long walk!

JR...that meniscus thing....I always thought it was on the front of the knee. I have a knee problem. When I kneel down on my left knee, the pain shoots so bad, I fall to the floor. So, I just use my right knee instead.

I thought so too! And my pain is when I sleep, the knot behind my knee, etc. I will go to the ortho. to continue my search on the pain. Pretty strange but at least it's not a clot. I can live with a mysterious pain, that only happens at night, I guess. :blink:

Glad you got it checked out. The pain at night is probably just noticed more because you are still.

Thinking of and praying for your friend. Please give us an update. I have seen CLUTCH perform and they are really really good.

[bamagirl]

I just returned from the beach and actually went to see CLUTCH perform at the Fishstock Rest. on Thomas Drive. I was blown away at the talent these members have. I have always thought that, but since Chachi left the group i was concerned of how they would all be. OUTSTANDING!! Ricky G is back and his voice is sooo powerful that it gave me chills. You all should go see them and get a night out of entertainment as well.

Update on Kevin. He has had a rocky week. Ups and downs, fever, etc.. But prayers have been answered and hopefully he will be off ventilator and in a private room soon. Thank you all so much in the prayers. Keep them going.
Happy 4th everyone!
