And the world and time stood still....

5 days ago, I was rushed to the hospital as I was feeling headaches and numbness. I thought it was just a routing high blood pressure but little did I know that I'm on the brink of having another mild stroke.....
I'm only 27 and I had 1 TIA (technical term ^_^) and the one last week was an infarct...
I was worried.. I won't forget the support given to me by my mom, sister, and fiance (and her sister), my aunts. And one memorable thing was when a doctor came up to me and said (not the exact words), "See? Your world and time stopped. Your life paused. Look back at what you did and what you can do. This is your chance..."

Thanks. Yeah, the first attach I had was nothing short of a pinch. The second one was already a slap. :( I learned my lesson though. I'm feeling a lot better after 4 months. :)

Well.. actually we do have history (grandparents on mother side) of hypertension/diabetes and such. However, I'm the only one who had this at this early age. T_T Lifestyle chance is a must.... Thank you.

Thank you very much. I was able to trim down by 36 lbs. So far so good. I haven't had any high blood pressure lately even after exercising. I wish to trim a little bit more and maintain it that way so I could lessen the risk of it happening again. Take care!

Thank you! Yeah, it was really tough times. I lost 2 jobs because of it. I had to leave as per advise from a lot of doctors. Now that I'm a lot better, I'm already halfway through getting a job and my life back. Indeed, life is so short. I'm a happy that I have friends all over, which includes all of you here as well.

Yeah. And I thank God for all that. Hey! I got a job but I haven't signed up yet for the contract. They were offering 1/3 of my salary from my previous work... :( Really bad... and they're demanding when it comes to the work load. I don't want to go into it since I may still be adjusting. I thank him as well for making me pass it. :)
