TosheyHier noch ein paar Sätze zum, neulich hier diskutierten, Gesundheitszustand von Eberhard Weber, der im Januar 2008 dem Bass Player ein Interview gab.
Wenn ich es richtig verstehe, war es nur ein leichter Schlaganfall und die Hoffnung auf weitere Werke scheint nicht unrealistisch… :-)

At the end of our interview, Eberhard Weber spoke about his stroke and rehabilitation, and offered advice to his fellow musicians.

My left-hand side was totally paralyzed—I couldn’t do anything. I went through some therapies and now I can walk again, with a stick. I try to play, but my left hand makes lots of problems. I play for maybe ten minutes and then start to get frustrated, so I walk around for ten minutes and then come back—interval training. Then I show the therapist what I need to do, and he corrects my arm or my fingers or gives advice. Musically I don’t need advice, but physically and mentally, I do.

As you might know, a stroke is not just a muscle situation; it’s a nerve situation. You have to build new nerves, which also means you have to learn anew how to do things. Suddenly you have to think, How does one walk? Which foot goes first? How high do you lift it? And so on. It’s nerve-racking, and it requires patience, patience, patience. That’s the keyword for me.

[Musicians] should not smoke so much. They should watch their blood pressure. And they should be aware. I did not know what a stroke was, what the symptoms were. I just walked out of an elevator and my left foot was a bit awkward. I thought, What is this? I didn’t think of a stroke, but I should have, because when you get medication within the first three hours, you might get through it without being paralyzed.

Schön, dass du meine Frage neulich nicht vergessen hast. Mittlerweile
wurden wir aber recht ausführlich aufgeklärt. Und nail hat es sogar gepostet
(an falscher Stelle). Wie dem auch sei:

Und Nail: wäre schön, wenn du das demnächst ordentlich hinbekommst.

Da gehört es nämlich nicht hin, insbesondere, nachdem du hier schon
geantwortet hast:
