Dave, I am a stroke survivor. My stroke put me down on the ground and I knew what had happened, that it was a stroke and I got a friend to take me to the hospital immediately. They gave me aspirins to chew and swallow, best defence against stroke or heart attack. I laid around to about three weeks with the exception of my wife driving me to the farm to feed the cattle and tend them, then I'd come home and sleep all day. Slowly my energy started coming back and I began to feel confident enough to drive. Haying came along and my SIL helped me load up four wagons with small squares. My habit was to unload the wagons the next day and have them empty to bale when he got home from work. Well after the stroke I could unload about half a load and I would have to shut the tractor and elevator off and lie down under the wagon and rest in the shade. It was two years until I felt like myself,but exercise,diet and routine all helped. I was put on cholesterol pills and a daily aspirin to thin the blood. The specialist determined my stroke was not a high blood pressure stroke ,but a particle that blocked a blood vessel in the brain TIA. Its been several years since and I have no signs of stroke whatsoever,but if I am really tires my left foot feels somewhat numb. You will recover and you will be working in your shop again. Each day will get better,do what the doctors tell you ! I was told to stay on the meds, avoid alcohol and watch the diet with weight loss as a goal. limit alcohol to no more than two drinks a day. I like beer and do have two a day as part of my daily fluid intake.You will recover and all the faculties you think are lost will return in degrees. Best of luck from a stroke survivor as well!!

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
