Andy's Stroke

The year started with a shock: I (Andy) collapsed with a major stroke on Sat 19th Jan while drinking my morning coffee, and was unable to move or speak for a couple of days. Fortunately Alisa was watching, the roads were quiet and the ambulance got to us and then took me to St. George's Hospital in record time. Fortunately, after a couple of days things started to improve rapidly.

Apparently, a small part of my brain is now dead. I am convinced it's the part that does the gardening.

I took rehab fairly seriously and have got back to full strength and almost full coordination. Any drop in my running speed probably has more to do with age, food and taking things easy than anything sinister!
