In the last week a woman in my area had a stroke. She is 61 years young. She’s active, plays with her grandkids and is a healthy weight. She’s always been a happy woman who never stops moving.
A few weeks ago she had some neck pain that wouldn’t go away. She thought she had slept funny and that was it.
Until it wasn’t. She had a stroke and a week later is still in the ICU.
How many times have you had an ache or pain and thought nothing of it?
I think we have all done this in our lives. A bad night’s sleep or two and you may be achy and chalk any body issues up to that.
Please become the expert on you. Especially as we get older- go get checked out for any pain out of the ordinary.
Another friend has family history of heart disease. After experiencing chest pain throughout the summer, he had a heart catheter put in and 3 stents. He’s lucky he got to the doctor in time.
It’s easy to take your health for granted- I think we all do when we are younger. Our health truly is our greatest wealth.
Listen to what your body is telling you. Get seen asap for anything out of the ordinary. This is your friendly reminder to get the annual physical, go to the dentist and ladies, get your annual appointment with your ob/gyn.
We only get one body to go through this lifetime with- take the best care of it that you possibly can.
Your health is your greatest wealth~
Enjoy your day~
