Don't assume you know the future.

And when I get my cancer (and I will, I smoke tobacco), ...

Don't assume you'll be Ok except for that.

Stroke is bad news. Life is really hard for you and your family when you can't control half your body any more.

Smoking doubles the risk of stroke. http://www.stroke.or...?pagename=smoking

Make things easier on your TL. Quit tobacco as soon as you can. (You too, Box.)

Hang in there.

[edit:] Tyqo.

Cheers,
Scott.

Good point

And with my genetic disease, stroke risk increases. Those damn blood vessels are a bit stretchy and poppy in my family.
