Thanks for putting it into perspective!
My dad was the picture of health until he was 70. He looked to be in his fifties, was an astute businessman, played golf every day, was witty, etc. Then he had a blood clot in his brain and a MAJOR stroke. We thought we had lost him. He was like a vegetable for two months, and doesn't remember any of that time. He gradually came back, but it aged him about 20 years. We are so thankful to have him around, even though he's a little wobbly. LOL He's really a miracle; the doctors didn't think he'd ever be able to do anything again and that was almost nine years ago now.
