Not a Man Anymore

A tiny Heart pain
and now I'm less than a man
Right side numb Can't write

Wow, sounds like a stroke, my cousin younger than me and I'm 31 had one of those and he had the same problem. Hope you are cool and I doubt if anyone would consider you a lesser man because of that. Have a great Sunday.:)

So sorry you have been suffering not only from illness, but from difficulty in writing, HG. It seems you've posted some new work recently though, so I'm praying for a quick recovery. My best wishes are always with you. Love, Carolyn
