Email From An Old Boss,85



After Saturday tennis I came home
took a nap and woke up dizzy
had trouble walking.
My balance was off so I went
to bed and slept 20 hours
got up still the same
so Molly took me to the ER
where they said maybe a stroke.
After seven hours of tests
no diagnosis except dehydration
and maybe a stroke so now it's
wait to see my doc next week.
Till then drink lots of water,
eat what I can and sleep.
I use the walls and chairs
to get to the bathroom.
If the worst happens
Molly will let you know.
I gave her your address.
Maybe say a prayer for me.
