A good friend of mine refused to go to the hospital. She said it was just a bad headache. She was only 50) finally her husband demanded she go and physically picked her up and took her to the hospital. She had had a massive stroke that took years to recover. 5 years ago she was driving again, riding a bide and almost back to normal. Then 2 years ago she had another stroke and she lost her sight and was stuck in a wheelchair. She never was the same again and she passed away last year at 63. She stopped eating and told her husband she was tired of living that way. While I miss her I got it she didnt want to live like that anymore.
Count your blessing for your great son!
