Earlier this week, I had a headache for two days. It would go away with ibuprofen, but then come back. When I lay down in the dark waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in, I started thinking about possible reasons that my head would be hurting. (Turns out, it was stress from job hunting, I managed to kick the headache eventually).

I started thinking about my father. He was only 5 years older than I am when he had his first stroke. My older sister had a stent put in at that same age. I remember thinking at that time, that it would be a long time before I got that old. Not so much, now lol.

My mom is in her late 70’s and hasn’t had health problems, but she’s always stayed pretty active.

It is definitely past time for me to pay more attention to my health. I need to start going for walks. I was going to the gym with my youngest. I don’t even remember why we stopped. I’ve also bought the things I need to eat healthier. Frozen and fresh fruit, salad makings, chicken, brown rice, frozen vegetables, oatmeal, green tea. All yummy, I just need to start making my meal plans ahead of time again.
