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 - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
