    • Interests

      My main two interests since my stroke are LIVING and My family. family is the number one interest in my life so I naturally enjoy spending time with them. I enjoy home computing; keeping up my home ( like, the power tool thing you know ) I enjoy traveling, cooking, reading and relaxing. Taking it easy is something I am working at.

      From EMERSON2D June 19

      My thoughts and prayers are with you for your upcoming surgery. You said your stroke was in Oct 2006, my heart attack was the same time. And now I'm living with the fear of a stroke! Please keep us updated on your surgery date, OK? (I am to have my 1st cardiac stress test next week , which is kind of scaring me!) Cherie
