Do Over

I wish I could have a do-over of July 21, 2017.

I thought I knew the signs of a stroke:

vision blurred, speech slurred

face drooping, muscle coordination off,

but I didn’t recognize it in my hubby.

And once I knew something was wrong,

I didn’t realize how important it was

to drop everything and get him to ER.

We first took our clients to day care

then stopped to cancel care on another.

Now, we try to make the best of a new normal.
