STROKE
It was the first of July, I had retired from Mingo county(will miss the kids & teachers, but not being away from my family), would be home to help my mom(after her dogs were put to sleep this past year)my youngest son was back in town & going to be around until the end of the year(so all my kids would be here), I was going to do telemarketing and get serious about selling Usborne books, that way I'd have money during the summer, then get on the sub list in surrounding counties,as well as Harrison, and some state ran schools. Would be home to see my grandaughters soccer games,could do more for my church, and would have some time to concentrate on my House of Delegates campaign. Was going to family get together on the 4th & Tea Party on the 5th. Life was good.
Then driving home from picking my son up so we could go to see OKLAHOMA that nite felt like I was starting to have mini-stroke, but it went away. Then when we got home started feeling funny had trouble with my right side moving, but thought it would go away. Had my son drive to the play. Still was having touble, felt uncomfortable while watching the play, although the play was a very good. Everyone did a good job. Did not want to tell any one, thought it would go away. Got home,couldn't sleep. That morning went to hospital, I had had a stroke. Life for me stopped.
How was I going to pay my bills, how much and how long would I be laid up, how could I get around. I was worried. Anyone that knows me knows that I usuaully don't usually worry(probably because me mom worries all the time). But this time I was.
Well thanks to my kids & their spouses and several other people things have improved a lot. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Fortunately my stroke wasn't as bad as it could be also I have been doing my physical therapy & exercises at home(although I have to pick my exercise up a notch)and walking in the water.
I would however like to use my circumstance to try & help some people. First anyone out there overweigth, LOSE WEIGHT NOW. Many of you I know who are young. When I was in high school I only weighed 210 and thought I was fat, If I weighed that now(which I will get down to)peolple would think I was anorexic. Some of you are that age and weigh a lot more.. It's easier to lose now than to wait till you are my age and have to.
The other thing and the most important is, whenever you make a decison Pray about it & seek wise counsel. While not directly contributing to my stroke, I feel God used my stroke as a way to get my attention. I'm not going to go into detail, but there are certain decisions I made that I didn't do either. Since my stroke I have starting to try to do more towards finding God's will.
He has already blessed me. I am not doing it for that reason, but it shows if you will do what HE wants, that he will take care of you.
So for everyone out there first find out what God wants you to do. Second before you make a decision Pray about it & seek wise counsel. Third if you are overweight LOSE IT NOW.
