Some typical. Some not. I haven't smoked for 45 years, but if I had, they would have made me quit. I haven't had much to drink since I was a college student and not really much then, but I didn't social drink much at all. When I drank in college, I tried to get drunk and did. But I didn't drink any alcohol for 40 years. Then decided to drink a little red wine for my heart. Cut was back after the heart attack.
Mostly it's about a bed diet. I'm not going to totally change that. But I will do better. It's weird. They told he I have something in my brain that makes me more vulnerable to having the kind of stroke that is because of the blood pathways in my brain. So much so, that the heart attack caused blood thinners I started taking 2.5 years ago have to go away, which will make me more prone to another H A. But this stroke wasn't that kind of stroke. I'll be 70 in August, so that's a factor.
For two years I had been pretty good with my eating, but for the last 6 months, I backslid I bit. I guess I got tired of chicken and lettuce. One big deal is they want me to back way off on my salt. I suspect if I got laid occasionally, that would help. Ah but God has his rules, so to speak. The guys on the pay board woulld say that I was so unattractive, that It wouldn't matter anyway.
I would report that I am improved. This post took half the time as the OP. My fingers don't. work right yet, but I am better. I drove today for the first time. The neurologist told me to wait a month, and I told him I had to work at little. It felt weird. I'm going to try to do an appointment or two, three days a week. We'll see.
I really appreciate the good wishes and especially the prayer. Big believer in the value of prayer. I can't remember the last time I missed at softball game or a women's gymnastics meet that was televised, but life goes on.
