Reasons to get healthy I guess... sad day.

I am deeply saddened today by the news that my uncle had a stroke. THey removed a blood clot from his brain and he is still unconscious. I hope to goodness that he pulls through no damage.

He had a stroke about a year ago and broke his leg. He has been on blood thinners ever since, which is why it is so terrible to think he had a clot in the first place...

Worst of all, and here comes my lecture people... .listen to your body it speaks loudly at times.... he had been having painful headaches for a few days and refused to go to the hospital, last night he started having headaches that nauseated him, his wife drove him immediately... he had a blood clot. they removed it.. and now we wait impatiently to determine what the results will be?!

we will all die at one time, for one reason or another. MAybe eating healthy and excercise will or will not help, no one person really knows for sure... there are the avid health junkies... they all die eventually too.

But this is just a good reminder why it is more and more important for us to be a little more aware of what our bodies are telling us. Get fit, get healthy and know when something is different.

prayers for you Uncle Brian, we love you and hope you get better really really soon.
