TAKE CARE OF IT NOW!!!

I'm one of those stroke survivors that after one year still can't play my instrument well. My BP was even worse, 215/135, and I stroked out while taking my meds for 5 months! Now I have lost 70 pounds, I walk 4 miles a day, and I eat very little meat. If you have a family history or artery problems, and you get sick a lot (anything from colds to asthma), ask your doc to check you out. My only sign of an artery blockage was a being tired and a lingering cold.
