Allow me a personal note defining my life's journey:  On 9-24-1982 I was a State Investigator, but on 9-25-1982 I was a stroke patient, and on all sub·se·quent  9-25's I have been a stroke patient not one of my better memories, but I have learned to accept my plight, and on occasion to reflect,  Today I am reflecting so bear with me.  It is a little ironic the best way I can describe my usual days is comparing them to the life of a prisoner where their confinement is bars, but my confinement is my health I conclude neither of our confinements allow us the freedom to be ourselves.  I have stated many times if you did not know me prior to 9-25-82 you do not know me at all.

I know there are many people out their worst off than myself however this does not make me feel better as the people who remind me of this believe that it should it only makes me sad for those people.  I will end with a WARNING-If you smoke-STOP, if you drink to much-STOP, but most of all if your cholesterol is to high-GET IT UNDER CONTROL.
