It was a hot sunny day in Northern California and Bob(we will call him) was out for a ride with his friend Joe on  quad ATVs to end a stressful day at work selling cars As they began the ride at the barn Bob wanted to take a quick look in back at the Artisan spring behind the barn that seemed to increase in volume every day as they stood looking at the spring Joe looked at Bob and noticed he was really not paying much attention to the spring at all but was leaning against the barn mumbling instead of speaking clear words worried about his friend Joe quickly stepped over to see exactly what his friend was doing As he looked at him, he noticed that the left side of his face was drooping and he could not speak Are you ok Joe asked? all Bob could do was nod his head no so Joe got hold of him and carried him to his quad to return to the house Can you ride? Joe asked and all Bob could do  his head no get on! Joe said I will ride you back to the house! With Bob stable on the back, the two took off for the house Should I call Pauline? Joe asked and all Bob could do was nod yes so Joe ran in the house and dialed the phone, about 5 minutes later Pauline came up the driveway about 40 miles per hour screeching to a halt she asked Where is he?sitting on the quad in the carport ! Joe replied so Pauline took off running to see how he was doing How are you feeling ?she asked as she ran up beside Bob

not   honey Bob slurred Whats wrong?Pauline asked I can’t stand and walk and my head seems to be spinning his words slurring Why?! she asked I think I got stung by a bee was Bobs answer your going to the hospital! Pauline said something is wrong honey your face doesn’t look  right and your words are slurring after several minutes of futile resistance Bob agreed to go get checked out to be sure everything is alright after quite a struggle they managed to get Bob in the car and departed quickly for the ER room On the way, Bob kept trying to pull down the visor to see himself in the mirror and each time Pauline would slap it back in place before he could look why do you keep doing that? Bob asked you look fine Pauline answered But my face feels funny and I want to see it Bob said your fine Pauline assured him we will just have the Dr be sure so, off to the hospital they continued Upon arriving at the hospital Pauline ran inside to get a wheelchair to to take Bob inside after loading him up, she ran pushing him to the checkin desk I think my husband is having a stroke she screeched as they arrived at the desk and after some hustle and bustle a technician came out and rolled him into the examining room to take a closer look oh I am feeling fine now Bob answered as the tech asked him questions I want a doctor to see him! Pauline said as soon as the Tech left Pauline said to Bob, you tell the doctor the truth when he askes you questions But I am fine now Bob kept saying Maybe so now said Pauline but something happened back there honey and I want to know what! short;y the dr stepped in and began to ask questions Of course Pauline took over and began telling the doc all that had happened at the barn He seems fine now the dr said but lets just take a look and see what might be going on and began looking Bob over after some vital sign checks he said to Pauline well. I think everything is going to be fine go ahead and take him home and keep an eye on him bring him back in if something changes long story short, the next morning Bob awoke in the hospital 2 months later to the surprise of his life! to be continued…
