Well I am getting the wheels ready to go to AZ. Serviced the RV completely and put some new window vents covers on the car. Using nephew's heated shop but the glue that holds the vents on is drying real slow. So wasting some time on the NET.
Right at 5 degrees right now. I should have left this week rather than after Thanksgiving. The meal will help keep me warm. LOL
Now for my question. A good friend had a "light" stroke five weeks ago. Left side was effected. Face and speech mainly. Some weakness in left leg and arm. Left hand will not grip very tight.
Got to the Doctor a little too late for the wonder drugs. (Felt bad at bedtime waited until morning to go to Hospital) So if your feeling off go get checked ASAP!!!!
Few weeks of physical therapy and now exercises to help regain grip/motion on arm.
The "YOUNG" Doctor keeps telling my friend how it was a real "light" stroke and that he/she was "LUCKY" It really POs my friend when the Doc tells him/her that.
Thing did get better the first week or so. Now it seems like that improvement has slowed or even stopped.
Have any of you had a "light" stroke???? Did you mostly recover after some time or do you still have issues????
My friend can not drive or get up steps very well still. It makes life difficult in the country to not be able to drive yourself to town. Also not many old homes really are real friendly to mobility issues. Too many levels/steps.
My friend's family is helping out for now but they may need to "hire" extra help if the recovery is limited to what it is now.
The thought of a major stroke kind of scares the crap out of me. To be fully aware but not able to do much would be he!! for me.
Need to get south before I freeze up here in the north. LAMO

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
