Had a mild stroke

Also remember it wasn't a mild stroke - it was a stroke. The results were luckily mild, but could have just as easily been serious or worse.

It's like being a little dead, there's no such thing.

I was in the hospital with the rest of the stroke victims. I was alert the whole time. Nobody else there was as lucky as I was.
 
Keith, glad it wasn't worse. l will be thinking of you. it's good you have someone to help you change your diet. I struggle with that.
 
Good to hear that you are continuing your recovery and able to still enjoy 2 wheeled travel.
Diet and Exercise are 2 very important things to help extend your life.... Doctors orders. :thumb:

I hope I am done. I’m not trying to keep up or even come close to uncle Phil procedures. But like him, I hope to be around to share many more campfire with all of you.
 
Glad you are ok. My Mom had a TIA a few years ago. Very scary. If you want a good smoked turkey meatloaf recipe let me know :)

I wouldn't want anybody to go through the stuff I've been through! :eek:
But funny you should mention that as I just had a bit of 'news' a couple of weeks ago -
It appeared that I had a major aneurysm in the ascending aorta to my heart - that's a 'crack you open like a watermelon and fix it' repair.
As it thankfully turned out on further investigation (two weeks later), I just have an unusually larger aorta and larger heart compared to 'normal'.
After a closer look via an MRI everything seems to be fine (other than a known leaking valve).
But it was sure messing up my riding plans for a while and I'm still not supposed to pick up anything over 50 pounds ... ;)
It is health events like these that you realize how slender the thread is that our lives are hanging from.

Diet is very user-specific. One should have their doctor run the proper tests to determine "which" diet is most appropriate. (I use the VA, which has a very comprehensive program).

This diet promotes eating lots of fat. Eating too much saturated fat (think bacon / butter), could raise LDL, which is linked to various heart disease, like high blood pressure. It also prohibits nutritional fruits and vegetables, so you need to supplement what's lost thru those.
