Glad you were able to get assistance rapidly and your stroke was a mild one but, You can attest..one stroke is way too much. Hope you mend rapidly. Try this: I believe you were just out in SLC for the game. Did your doctor mention anything related to rapid altitude change? People from FL w/ underlying conditions(hypertension) have been known to go from good old zero elevation and head out west or to NC mtns, go up in elevation and then have strokes/heart attacks w/ the abrupt change. I knew a couple people. One in CO and one in NC and..both playing golf?? Don't play golf...

Glad your better-great information

Glad you are doing well. I’m on BP medications and have cut down on red meat and definitely salt which is everywhere in our foods. Have a BP machine at home. Haven’t had a stroke but it does run in family. See my cardio regularly.

Im turning 44 in Nov and focusing on reversing the decades of partying, lack of sleep, stress, anxiety and bad eating habits. Im glad you okay big dawg. Thanks for taking the time out 2 give us all positive encouragement. Thats why Im trying not to waste anymore time in my life stressing out, mad or in negative emotional state. Whatever time I have left, my goal is to try to spend as much of it in good spirits or being positive.  Anyways, man Im glad you good.

Since we're on to the second page, can I make a joke about how I've been concerned with my strokes since I was 13?
