Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

When Jack realized he was having a stroke, he was completely surprised. He awoke in the middle of the night with a terrible headache, having lost feeling in half of his body. Jack’s wife found him and immediately called 911.

He was transported to Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare where he received treatment immediately. He could do nothing to help himself, but he knew he was in excellent care. “They were able to change everything to make it adjustable to me and what I needed,” Jack remarked, as he recalled the care he received.      

After spending three weeks in rehabilitation, Jack was released. He still has some outstanding stroke-related issues, but he’s been able to live as normal of a life as possible after such a life-altering event.

He now spends much of his time with his children and grandchildren. “I don’t sweat the small stuff anymore,” Jack said.
