First of all, my sister in law Cathi was able to come home within a few days after having her stroke. It was a minor one, so minor that the Doctor did not schedule theropy. It was minor BUT a huge wake up call for her so she and my brother are making the adjustments in their lives as to prevent another. My Granddad was also able to come home and is doing fine. He still has to be monitored but is in great health for being 82 years old. I did find out that my step mothers mother, whom we call GeeGee also had a minor stroke two weeks ago. It has turned into a good thing that I chose American Heart Association/Stroke Awareness as my platform!!!!
Now onto the fun stuff.
On October 10th I was blessed to have Christina Storrade, Mrs Texas US Continental 2010 to help me out working the Go Red for Women booth during the Las Vegas Heart Walk. We had a great time visiting with stroke and heart disease survivors and hanging out with Lacy and Crisa from AHA.
The week of the 11th through the 18th I volunteered to work at the Justin Timberlake Shriner Hospital for Children Open, a golf tournament that raised money for the hospitals of the Shriners. I was lucky enough to be given the job of Marshall. I was one of the person you see raising their hands to quiet the gallery when a glofer is getting ready to make their swing or putt. I was on the 18th green, where this year it was literly won in a shoot out. I was able to meet George Lopez, comdeian and actor and Natalie Gulbis.
