I've been absent for far too long. As some of you may know, I went through a long period last year of trying to heal up some skin sores. Flashing forward to fall, I was well and feeling sassy again. Fasting glucose in the 100-110 range, A1C running 6.2, no issues. Then on November 15 I had a very small stroke, causing right-sided weakness and slurred speech. I spent three days in the hospital and then three weeks in rehab, getting Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy every day. Now I'm getting outpatient PT and OT twice a week. I'm pretty much back to my pre-stroke status, and feel really lucky because it could have been so much worse. Fortunately I was doing all the things I was supposed to do, my cholesterol and other blood lipids were in the normal range, and so was my blood pressure.

Just a reminder to take care of yourselves, the unexpected can still happen but may be less catastrophic than if you don't.

(I gave your post a subject. smile )

Judy! Wow! Thank goodness you're on the mend and that this was not as bad as it could have been. I'm glad you're back to normal! I know you have always taken care of yourself and I'm sure that has paid off.

Are you able to get about and walk around the way you want? So glad to see you back!

yeah

Judy, I am so sorry to hear that but i am happy you're healing. I was wondering where you had been. I used to see you pop in on UC fairly often. You have been missed.
