It was about 16 years ago, Monday morning about 8:00, I got up from the chair and immediately something was wrong - I felt no feeling in right-side of my body and I couldn't talk at all. My wif setting next to me and I fell down on the floor. The doctor - Norm is my wine-tasting-buddies and my Doctor said, "It was a stroke, go to the hospital immediately!"
Before the stroke, I was slim (...and handsome...some girls want to say, my wif included), exercises 3 or 4 day a week, down on my cholesterol and the blood pressure was fine and two or 4 glasses of wine per day.
It was a massive stroke, right side on my body and speech. I couldn't say, "yes." Three or four weeks in the hospital, six weeks in in-house PT and 8 -9 weeks out-house in a PT.
I was foggy on the hospital stay. Week after I got stroke my wif lost her job. And my grandmother died of a stroke. And my parents were too broke to get airline tickets to see me.
