Stroke

Actually, the aspirin therapy used for some time now has been superseded by some doctors recommending statins like Lipitor instead. A friend here was recently switched away from aspirin. It was not done for a cholesterol problem, only as a blood thinner.

Joel, how are his symptoms today? Have they improved or stayed the same? You must be going nuts waiting for Monday morning to get here and make some appointments.

Thanks for asking! He’s about the same; right side still weak and his right hand is useless for all intents and purposes. He’s quit smoking cold turkey; that, and his frustration at his physical condition have made him very irritable. I can’t do or say anything without him being nasty (and sometimes even cruel). So I just try and breathe, and remind myself that this could have been much, much worse.
