Wally - that's scary. I'm very glad to hear you are OK & it sounds like kind of a "minor" stroke. One of my reps from IL. had a fairly severe stroke about 2 years ago - it affected his left side. He ended-up closing down his agency over it & has been retired since. I since found out that he had high BP & he was probably about 40 pounds overweight, so I'm sure those were real factors. I'm 64 now & have been doing pretty well all things considered. My BP is normal but I'm probably about 20 pounds overweight. Only thing that has been plaguing me for the past 25 years are bouts with basal cell skin cancer that just keep popping up. I've had MOHS surgery 3 times on my face & really don't care to have to go through that again!

When it's my time to go, I want to just fall like a sack of potatoes & lights-out. But we don't get to choose. And the rest of you who are plodding along, all the best to you. It doesn't get any easier as we get older.
