It still sucks, but not quite as much

If you’re ever going to have something that looks like a stroke, have it in Florida: there are a ton of old people there and the doctors seem to know what they’re doing.

The doctors don’t see standard evidence of a stroke. They don’t see a clot. And they don’t see a brain tumor which is what killed my grandmother. He’s not talking but he opens his eyes and pays attention to you when you do talk to him, and he can move all his limbs, albeit not as well on the left side as on the right.

I’ll see him on Saturday (my mother doesn’t fly and I’m going down with her).

My aunt Linda tells me this all started with a bang: he was reversing out of a parking space and kept reversing…right into a fire hydrant. He’s gonna be sorry he was unconscious and missed that.
