"He then fell and hit his head, resulting in a left vertebral artery dissection and a right subarachnoid hemorrhage," Dunlap's wife Chrissie wrote on her Facebook page.
"The good news is that he is sharp and aware, his speech is fine, and all of the nurses and doctors have commented on his unique sense of humor," she wrote. "The bad news is that he cannot move the right side of his body and will be in for some serious rehab. They will be giving him more tests tomorrow to determine the extent of the damage. I will try to post updates as we learn more."
Dunlap replaced guitarist Bob Stinson, who left in 1987 following problems with addiction and a power struggle with singer Paul Westerberg. Dunlap remained with the group until their breakup in 1991 and went on to release two solo albums, 1993's 'The Old New Me' and 1996's 'Time Like This.'
"He is resting comfortably tonight and there is no news," Chrissie wrote late on Monday. "It will be a long and difficult recovery and we do not know how long, or how much he will recover. Thank you for your love and concern."

But don't dismiss them just because you haven't heard of them. A quick web search will reveal all. The Replacements were a highly influential alternative (before they called it that) rock band active throughout the 1980s and the early 1990s. They wrote, recorded, and released some fine music. Influential? Bands like Goo Goo Dolls owe everything to them. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Replacements_%28band%29 and http://colormeimpressed.com and then go to Youtube and watch some videos. You just might like it.

The types of stroke are ischemic (thrombotic), embolic, lacunar, hemorrhagic. The most common site of stroke is the middle cerebral artery. If he cannot move the right side of his body, he has an affectation of his left cerebral hemisphere or the left side of his brain. Since it is the left side of his brain which was affected and the right side of his body which was weakened due to the stroke, it will take a long time (around 6 months) for him to functionally recover. The vertebral arteries are the major arteries of the neck. They branch from the subclavian arteries and merge to form the single midline basilar artery in a complex called the vertebrobasilar artery. Subarahcnoid hemorrhage is a condition wherein there is bleeding into the subarachnoid space which is between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater surrounding the brain. Physiotherapy rehabilitation must start as soon as possible and as soon as the vital signs of the patient are stable. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Will be praying for him and his recovery. God bless.
