Stroke 101

I am what some might call a hypochondriac. Ok, so most people would call me that, and they'd be right. Probably the most odd delusion I suffer from is that I will have a stroke at any given moment. And it is all this woman's fault. Now everytime I have a headache I think I'm having a stroke. Everytime my eyes hurt, I'm having a stroke. Everytime my voice goes out, I'm having a stroke. Everytime I lie awake at night pondering the existence of life, I'm having a stroke. To assure myself I'm ok, I sing Christmas carols and count to ten over and over again. It calms me down.

Unless of course I forget the words to Silent Night. Then I'm definitely having a stroke!
