Greg's Story
I've lived a great life so far. I've done many things most people never get the chance to do. I feel truly blessed.
If my Q&A looks a little skimpy in a few areas, it's because I listed things as they are today and not things I did and enjoyed in the past.
Everyones' life goes through ups and downs. As I've aged I realized that although not fun to go through, the down times are very important in forming the person that you become. True character building at it's finest...hehehe
In April of 2005 I had quite a life changing event happen to me. A true test of my character if you will. I had a blood pressure related stroke....:-( It obviously didn't kill me. But the doc's told everyone to get there because I wouldn't survive. I would have argued the point, but I was in a coma for a week and couldn't st...Expand for more
ate my case. The stroke affected my left side. I woke up from the coma hungry :-) and wanting to know when I could start physical therapy. The support I received from my friends was incredible. I'm not a rich man money wise, but their support showed me that I was truely wealthy. I worked my ass off in therapy and got out of it what I put into it! I've recovered quite well. I no longer work, which I don't mind...but I sure miss the paychecks :-)
I live unaided by myself, walk with a leg brace, do all my house work (yuck), I even drive.
So basically:
I'm very happy
retired at 51
get great parking spots
No pity wanted or needed here. I enjoy everyday, have a great positive outlook, took up smoking fine, hand rolled, imported cigars...no cubans though. I hope all the CNHS 75 alumni are as happy as me.
