My Grandma who is 90 this year, had a couple mild strokes in her younger years, and none in her 80's by changing her diet. Don't eat anything with the words partially hydrogenated in the ingredient list. That will give you unwanted "sticky blood". Eat real butter when you must have butter, NEVER EVER eat anything but REAL butter. The other stuff, even the stuff with health claims all over the box or tub are LOADED with stuff that are your enemy now. Real butter is your friend if you can't live with out anything, please trust me on these two things, I believe diet can be a major factor in not only how well you recover from this, how quickly, but also prevent more strokes down the lane. Of course, there is more to it than this as far as your diet goes, but this is a trans fat/partially hydrogenated ingredient is a BIGGIE! Check your pudding cup. Check your ice cream, check EVERYTHING - even your calcium tablet. It's everywhere and it kills people. Okay I'll stop telling you what to do now and just love you.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO lots of love comin your way....

Thanks for everything. Peace and Love on your journey.
I'll bet you could do Ali today Pap and come out on top (LOL probably literally). I've had TAIs before which left me with facial sag and drooling outside of the Halloween season. Last one lasted for over a year and then wallah!! was healed. Get rid of stress...focused, relaxed meditation on the areas that are taxed and troubled work for me. I visualize them coming back to health and of course sit in the palm of HP's hands when I do these exercises. Go into low power mode and let the world out run you if they want. You will be fine. Keep coming back...
Thanks you so much everyone ... I feel the love coming through the keyboard and into my very soul ... I have slept for nearly two days straight ... lots of pain pils ... I now know what my wife meant, years ago, when she said she had a 'migraine' ... wow, how dibilitating ...
They did 2 cat scans a hosp. ... the first cat wasn't given any milk, the 2nd shot it into my brain ... (contrast -vs- no contrast) ... as expected, they found very little (thank God) ... then they gave me morphine and I grew some 'beer muscles' a told them I wanted out of there ... LOL the wifey 'bout had a fit, fut you guy know how determined we can get, huh? ... they wanted to do the MRI bit but I left AMA ... (Againgst Med. Advice)
I feel oggd this morning for the first time in 2 days ... weak, but good ... Hey!!! ... found new diet that works, just don't eat ... seems to work well ... are you listening Mr. David ??? ... you don't even have to execise ... wow what a novel idea ...
sorry guys, I'm rambling ... thanks again so much for your prayers ... will try and post as I regain my strength ... my right arm is fighting me all the way but seems to be cooperating a little better today ... (it works for the most part, it's just the 'fine motor' skills that are affected)
I love you all more than you can possibly know, Pappy

Don't eat anything? That's your new diet Roger? Good grief. What am I supposed to do now. Well, there's always ice cream -just in moderation, though. I'm glad you're feeling better.
