    According to her Facebook page, Nichelle Nichols suffered a mild stroke last night while at her home in Los Angeles.

    She is currently undergoing testing to see how severe it was.

    Why do I have the feeling I'm going to have to get myself ready again? :(

    Please get well. Ms. Nichols is an icon in the Star Trek world and we cant afford to lose a third classic crew member in such a short time. Best wishes to Ms. nichols and her family for a speedy recovery.

    Don't say that! Think positive thoughts.

    I'm glad she is recovering. Hang in there, Nichelle:)

    I bought tickets to see her at FLorida Supercon on the 28th.

    I was REAALLY looking forward to meeting her since I never had the chance.

    And you still might. Depending upon how mild or severe the stroke was, she may be back on the road after a few weeks.

    She's a feisty lil bird with a great fighting spirit. If she got medical intervention in time, her prognosis should be good.

    Might have to cut back on her breakneck public schedule just a bit, though.

    Pulling for you, Most Amazing Grace! :luvlove:
