Bishop TD Jakes Has Medical Emergency In The Pulpit

Thank you. I have made a complete change in my lifestyle and I realize just how essential rest is. I am turning 50 in February and it means a lot to me to take care of myself. I will say this to my fellow brothers: Please be mindful of stress. My stroke was brought on by stress, stress, and more stress. It’s not worth it.
stay well and thanks for keeping this reminder in the forefront...stress is a beast, even with the 'rewards' it's not worth the loss of health
 
I tell you what, after I broke my ankle last month in Vegas walking, stepping down a stairrong I told myself I would not waste my health anymore.

Since then I have worked out almost every other day and when I haven't done it every other day I've done it consecutive days to make up for it. I would do seven reps of seven with one of the reps being eight to total 50.

I would also do the same on the torso track. At 47 I've been blessed, but losing high school classmates all the time is scary to me.

While I'm not a fan of TD Jakes, I Hope he feels better. Some people say step away, but these Christian motherfuckers are greedy as hell, especially the preachers. They need their parishioners to fund their lives, either that or they love the attention

Glad you are hanging in there, brotha. When BigSarge passed that was a hard hit because he was such a cool dude. Made me go to the doctors and check on my own health. I live a boring and low stress life on purpose and for the exact reason you mentioned.

Keep up the good work!

Is your diet good? How about your stress level? I’m 42, and I’ve become more aware of all fitness, diet, and mental health. I’m balancing them all…

Thanks for the info.

What was stressing you out, and in hindsight, how would you have handled the stress differently now knowing what you know? Have you incorporated activities like meditation to decrease your stress level, or did you purge things out of your life?

I'm working on the diet. Before today I hadn't had any alcohol since October 5th. Now I'm going to keep it to two days a week or something like that and incorporate more veggies

That's great to hear, I know it's baby steps but you're on the right track.

We're all rooting for you bro.
 
I thought he stepped away from the pulpit a while ago.
He was saying he missed them, sounds like this was a return visit,

Had a pastor do that growing up, checking in letting the people know he was doing well and that the church was still in good hands......

Not sure what his motivation was, but I hope he recovers and gets to spend more time with his family/ loved ones

Yeah man I hope he recovers as well.

That’s a word brotha. I’m starting my ‘I don’t give a fuck’ campaign right now.

I will be transparent and admit that I have been having some personal difficulties the past few years and I have been holding on to so much internally. Believe it or not, the day before the stroke, I was so upset because of a job I applied for that I didn’t get. I remember trying to drink a glass of water that night and I couldn’t feel my mouth. I just thought I was tired and my friend noticed my eyes were twitching. Again, I thought I was just tired. Told my friend I was going to bed and when I woke up the next morning, I couldn’t feel half my body. Tried talking and my words were slurred. Called my mom who is a nurse and she was like “You’re having a stroke. Get to the hospital.” By the time I got to the ER, I had a full blown stroke. I was actually going out and I saw the white light people talk about. I’m 49 years old and I actually called out for my mom, who was 300 miles away. I pride myself on being a tough guy but I was calling for my mom. I remember the nurses literally trying to save my life. It was by far the scariest thing I’ve ever gone through.

I work in radio and I am friends with a lot of people in the adult industry. I’m so thankful to Vanessa del Rio, who checked on me practically every day. Domonique Simone made sure I had some food and I reconnected with Kitten. Carmen Hayes provided the laughs and made sure I was ok. So grateful because they were there for me.

I’m still on the mend but I highly urge my brothers to please, please watch the stress. I’m learning to chill and relax now. I’m learning how to take it easy. Damn shame it took a stroke for me to learn this lesson.

OMG!

I was hesitant to even mention that I had a stroke but seeing TD Jakes yesterday was moving and it was triggering to see him like that. The response to my post has been overwhelming and I’m thankful for the positive feedback I received from you guys. Thank you. You guys have lifted my spirits. Again, I appreciate each and everyone of you. Be blessed and please take care of yourself.

Peace,

Chris
