Today marks my third anniversary. My second birthday. The day I realized what was most important. The day I was able to relinquish control of my body and let God and the doctors take over. I have never looked back.
The changes in my life are innumerable.
I realized what unconditional love was as my wife and daughter watched over me. And still do. They held my hand and encouraged and kicked my ass too. No pity in this family. That is why I have recovered so well and continue to do so.
I Love them so much.
Drink the good stuff, eat the cake, dance. And tell the ones you love that you do.
Love
D

Three Years and Going Strong

The Brain Fart
The brain fart....a misconception to most people, a humorous term used to describe a situation when they make a bad decision or forget something... not so serious in this sense. I think of my stroke as a brain fart. An eruption or sudden explosion I had no control over. A silent "killer". In eleven months the doctors have not been able to determine the cause. The focus is now on a possible microscopic air bubble... hence the fart. I had a Qlinc implanted a month ago. This implant will monitor my heart for any sudden or irregular beats for about 2 years. I have a device that plugs into a wall and sends constant uploads to a monitoring station. Supposedly if anything goes wrong a dispatch is sent immediately. This is not a pace maker or anything like that, it monitors the blood flow and checks for air bubbles. I am sure my family wishes I had an air monitor on another part of my body.
Years ago a TV show..Boston Legal, featured a character played by William Shatner who would blame any irrational behavior or absent mindedness on mad cow disease. This let him get away with much. I tell people I had a brain fart. When they look at me funny and laugh a little, I get a serious look on my face and say "No, really, I had a brain fart". I figure this can be an excuse for my behavior well into old age. God gave me an excuse not to have to act like a grown up, now if I could just find my longboard, the family keeps hiding it from me.
