I read the wierd health wednesday article on the pilot who stroked while flying. What a story that was, from the determination of the pilot, to the willingness of the Air Force (RAF) to help out. It really struck home with me as I am both an Air Force retiree (USAF in my case), and a stroke survivor. I don't know if I'd have been able to do what that pilot did, but it sure is inspiring! Oh, by the way, I also hold a commercial pilot's license ... which I can no longer use due to a history of stroke! The similarities in careful attention to lifestyle for a strokee and an asthmatic are interesting as we both have to watch out for what to others are often considered the routine of life in order to remain healthy. I applaud your open letter to Michelle Obama and the oppportunity to hilight the issue of asthma on a broader basis. asthmagramps I don’t check in here as often as I have in the past (a lot of long days at work in a new role are to blame), but today is an off friday.
