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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
