A few weeks ago husband M got a call from a good friend. He relayed the news that another good friend had suffered a stroke. They were able to visit him in hospital three days later. It was a very emotional visit. The friend had lost his peripheral vision in one eye while the other eye is blurry, it seems the stroke was due to a buildup of plaque in his brain stem. He still has frontal vision but cannot read and will never be able to drive again. He was able to go for a bit of a walk that morning. Naturally he was still in shock having collapsed on the golf course only 3 days earlier.
His cholesterol levels were sky high as was his blood sugar so it appears he had not been taking good care of his health. So he is now on metformin and cholesterol meds and will have to make lifestyle changes. They cannot operate on his brain stem as it is too risky for him so it will be blood thinners for life. He is 64 years old.
This is yet another wake up call everyone, health first!
