Best Posts in Thread: Stroke Update 8 Yrs

This week bas been 8 yrs since my stroke. Sadly, a friend here, Mo Liddy, passed away from a stroke a couple days ago, so I am blessed, in spite of my disabilities, to enjoy an 11 yr old marriage to my wife and best friend and a son who turns ten Tuesday.
And a big shout out to brother-in-law who has been my helper, driver, and friend all 8 years.
So once again, I offer experienced advice to get physical check ups, take your meds, avoid stress, and exercise. Stay safe.

 

Determined man with great pride in his family - perfect in the situation he unfortunately found himself in. I doubt I could cope so well. Massive admiration.

 

8 years now, Wow well done Pat, your positivity and determination is an example to us all.
Long may you continue to enjoy having your Family around you.

 

Mother had a stroke when she was 46 years of age and had partial loss to one side of her face and arm that lasted about a year and a half. She went on to recover and lead a normal life till the age of 82. Stroke is serious but generally not an end all. All the best hopes out to yah PatO.

 

I'm glad you survived and are able to help others with your experienced advice. Sounds like a great family!
