While in Intensive Care last year the night after the stroke, the nurses woke me up to see if I was OK. Seems my heart rate was hovering around 38 & they didn't know what to make of it. Annoyed (they wake you up about every hour or two, anyway...) I told 'em I was sleeping. Anyway, the doc's cannot figure out what might have caused the stroke. Maybe just a wake up call... Wave if you see me on my brand new nude Tetra!
Wow, very scary. Did the docs give you any specific instructions about riding/exercise now? Were you on the East Bay bike path when it happened last year ?
