At the end of 2010 I had a stroke... not a little stroke... it was huge... I woke the day after unable to walk or use my hands..hell I couldnt even think squarely... my brain was on vacation and I couldnt begin to think of a way to make it come back to me...

my son and my mom and dad had no idea how to help me... they were equally as dumbfounded and confused as I was... none of us knew what to do or how to begin...

rhonda and I were in a weird spot... being victims of all kinds of sideways shit...but... that didnt stop her from coming to help me when I needed it most... she came and she stayed... and she did so until it was obvious that I could and would make it...

I am amazed with how good she was to me... I would never believe that someone would be so giving... but now I know that its possible... I will never be able to do enough for her to make up for what she did for me.

I had several folks pop up to wish me well and to send me good mojo... it was much appreciated...

I am doing extremely well now compared to then... I still have black spots in my memory and very minimal use of my right hand... and I think I mustve lost about 50 iq points... but... believe me when I say that I am damned glad for what I do have...

I just wanted to put some of the good thoughts I have been having out here in public where they belong...

and...

grab the chance to encourage all of you to consider how short our lives are... and remind ya all that you have to live life like there is no tomorrow... there just may not be some day!


Sincerely...

Rita Blass
