My buddy's wife just texted me that her husband had a stroke. Apparently, he's doing ok, but it sucks for a 55 year old non-drinker, non-smoker has to deal with this. He does own a bait shop, so that is likely the major stressor.

Anyway, prayers are welcome!

Hope your buddy does well coming out of it.Stress factors run the gamut, no telling when or where.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he makes a full recovery. Stress is only one factor in strokes and heart attacks.

Heart issues run bad in my family and I've been to the Dr. more in the last 3 weeks than I normally go in a year. They think they've finally got me on a BP medicine that's gonna work without too bad of side effects. Guess having readings that are 150 plus over 100 plus pretty often aren't good. I got kicked out of 2 blood drives in the last few months because of it. I started taking it at home then and it was too high most of the time so I figured it was time to go see a Dr. about it.

If they got the clot buster med in him fast enough he should do ok....My wife had one a little over a week ago, totally numb on her left side, but she came around quickly after the meds....sent her home in 2 days with baby aspirin and Lipitor....she's doing well enough to find fault with me again!, lol

Hope he heals up quick.
