Crazy Days and Nights: Ed Asner Hospitalized

Ed Asner Hospitalized

Last night was not a good night for Ed Asner. While performing on stage in Gary, Indiana, the show started 45 minutes late and when he finally did get on stage did not know his lines and was not communicating correctly and had to be helped off after 15 minutes. Emergency personnel were called and Ed was transported to the hospital. Earlier in the day, Ed had taught an acting class (above) and seemed fine. He is 83. Anyone else thinking stroke?

Cathy said...: Clearly he was smoking pot and drinking whatever that purple shit is that Bieber drinks and THAT'S why he was late.

Hope he's okay!!!; 10:36 AM
discoflux said...: That sounds stroke-like. I'm hoping the best for him.; 10:37 AM
Amber said...: Aww. Does sound like at least a mini-stroke. It's possible it sounds like a "complex migraine", but at his age I doubt that. :(; 10:38 AM
auntliddy said...: Yes, prob stroke. Hope hes ok. Wow first valiere harper, now him- whos next? Mary tyler moore? Spooky!; 10:39 AM
parissucksliterally said...: Oh no! I hope he is okay....; 10:40 AM
Melody the First said...: It could just be a medication problem at his age.; 10:43 AM
Meanie Rhysie said...: Aw. I loved him as Lou Grant. Sending best wishes to Ed.; 10:44 AM
Unknown said...: Probably steroids....; 10:45 AM
KPeony said...: No! I hope he's okay and if there's something wrong I hope he has a speedy recovery!; 10:45 AM
SusanB said...: Possibly stroke, possibly early dementia. Hope he's ok!; 10:46 AM
KendraWM said...: Low blood sugar or high blood sugar can cause the same symptoms of a stroke. Confusion, difficulty communicating, dizziness, etc...; 10:47 AM
Tru Leigh said...: He's probably on statins, and statins causes mental confusion.; 10:48 AM
Jamie2 said...: They're saying it was exhaustion and I hope that's all it is. The man's a legend.; 10:52 AM
DontRainOnMyPrada said...: Would dementia at 83 be considered "early?" ;) Maybe 80 is the new 60...; 10:54 AM
Seachica said...: Early dementia doesn't refer to age, but level of progression. My guess is he had a Tia -- a mini stroke. Often the person has no idea that they are having a stroke, and the effect is small but with several Tia's the impact accumulates.

I hope he and his family are ok. I feel for everyone who has a family member that suffers from dementia. It's a painful thing to live with; 11:07 AM

Best wishes to Mr. Asner.; 11:08 AM
Sherry said...: I could guess it may possibly be real exhaustion as opposed to the others younger celebs seem to suffer from. He's 83 and did an acting class earlier and then went on stage. That is a pretty demanding day. They probably even did a run through of the play after his class so it was a long day. That's what I am hoping at least.

BUT if it was a stroke they got him in the good recovery time at least. Isn't there like a magical 2 or 4 hrs. where they catch it and can reverse almost all effects of said stroke?; 11:32 AM
AKM said...: Aww man, I hope he'll be okay. He just needs to be spunky right now. (See what I did there?!); 2:15 PM
Anonymous said...: why the hell is he still working at that age?; 3:26 PM
Jenn said...: @nudibelle, he must do it because he loves it, there can be no other reason. I'd be at the house, for sure. I hope it wasn't a stroke,could very have been dehydration, or his blood sugar. My grandfather became dehydrated once from a stomach bug, and started talking out of his head.
I hope he gets better soon.; 4:01 PM
car54 said...: That's Rhoda and Mr Grant both very ill. This is making me nervous about Mary and Cloris and Betty.; 4:43 PM
Robert said...: "I hate spunk!"; 6:15 PM
Popnursing said...: "Last night was not a good night for Ed Asner. While performing on stage in Gary, Indiana" - you could've just stopped right there. Beacause any night you're in Gary, Indiana, things are probably not going well.; 9:03 PM
Portland Foodie said...: I was thinking same thing...he called in when Rhoda was on the doctors. The cast of MTM seems very close. Sad...; 10:40 PM
Lelaina Pierce said...: Aww, sending him well wishes. :(; 8:59 AM
hotchacha said...: Yes there is a small window for stroke recovery. My former husband had a stroke at 38. Didn't make it.; 5:15 PM
Scallywag said...: @Sherry, yes there is a clot-busting agent called tPA that they can give to some stroke victims within a very short window of the stroke. There are a lot of contraindications and it is not without it's own dangers but it can dramatically mitigate the effects of a stroke, especially cognitive issues.

TIA stands for transient ischemic attack, a brief stop of blood flow to the brain. It's like a mini-stroke and many times the person doesn't even realize it's happening unless there are specific symptoms like confusion, aphasia or lack of coordination. The effects usually last a few hours and disappear completely with no brain damage. However, it is seen as a precursor to a full stroke and if people are aware of them they should seek treatment asap.

I wish I didn't know so much about this. My mom had a stroke a few years ago.

@hotchacha, so sorry about your husband.; 3:27 PM
hotchacha said...: @Scallywag, so very kind of you. Thank you.; 3:33 PM
