Monday night I thought I had a stroke. My hands wouldn't work together, my speech was slurred and I couldn't answer questions. Went to the hospital for two days and found out this incident was caused by high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and was likely spurred by high stress. By chance they also found out that I have an aneurysm which is an enlarged aorta, one of the tubes that comes out of my heart.
As you can tell Musings On Iraq will be on leave for a bit. I have some old articles I wrote before I got sick that I will post and will eventually get back to Iraq full time but I'll need a little time off. Thank you to all the readers.
