First things first, I am still alive! 
After my little episode last month, I know there are a few people concerned, so I've decided to post my progress....of lack of, as the case may be.
I'm happy to report that there have been no major incidents since last month....although I have been more tired and getting a lot more sleep.
One fallback....my bladder don't let me get solid sleep for more than a few hours at a time.
Although my mind is as good as it ever was, I have a slight slowness to complete my thoughts, and a slight slurriness to my speech. Nothing I can't deal with....
After all is said and done, I am still working. I don't drive a cab anymore, but now run my own medical transport company. I have one customer whom I transport several times per week. Since I'm not cheap, business is good. Since I'm on my own, I don't have to split my take with a "mother company", so I'm making very decent money. Even with this gasoline situation......
I don't have the balance I once had so it's a lot harder to walk distances. Luckily, I inherited a handicap scooter from a friend who passed about a year ago. It's a totally portable one, easily folding into the car. It's a Godsend, something I could't do without right now.
It has been determined that the cause of my strokes was high blood presure. My local friends and roommates know this and they have taken steps to not elevate it any. In other words, they stay off my ass about things.... Who says there isn't an upside to tradgic things...
.
My blood pressure is now being controlled and I'm down to normal. It gets checked daily, if not moreso.
And now for the upcoming three day weekend....I hear my pillow calling my name. 
But not before the potty gets me first! 
Then off to 
.
