So, day one, entry one! I am more than 4 months past my stroke. So much has happened that It will take me several entries to get readers caught up. When I read blogs I like the entries to be short. I wonder if I will be able to write that way myself.

I had my first stroke on October 18 2006. I had put in a 14 hour day at work. I was walking to my car which was one of only a few in the parking lot. All of a sudden my vision got all distorted and I became disoriented. I could sort of see my car but I couldn't walk to it. I kind of staggered around the lot I guess and finally made it to the passenger side of my car. Of course I needed to get to the driver side but I couldn't figure out how to get around the car. I know the company I work for has security cameras out there. I must have looked like I was totally wasted. Anyway just as I found my wat to my car I finally got to the driver side and after struggling with the keys I was able to get into the car. I sat there for a few minutes and got my senses back. I called my wife and told her I didn't feel to good but I was going to drive home. I did drive home, 40 minutes and then went to bed.
