Gord is very lucky to still be alive as a leaking blood vessel in your stomach usually means instant death before you can even be treated. Anybody can have a stroke and many times there are no symptoms, it just happens. Usually people who are at an increased risk for this get MRI's to see if there is any swelling etc. in veins and arteries. If so, they usually get "stints" placed where the weakened veins are. This is a very serious operation but not as bad as waiting for that sucker to burst. With a weakened vein in the stomach, a bowel movement can burst it. That's how life threatening it is. Gord is one lucky man and thank God he is recovering!
Luther has a great voice. You know who it is when he is singing, that's for sure. I'm not much of an R&B fan but I do really enjoy Luther's voice. It's funny because last summer I was just bragging to a friend how good of a voice he has and how he should give him a listen.
Yes, life is very fragile and tomorrow is never promised to any of us. I try to live life day by day. I figure that God has me alive this day for a reason. What that reason is, only He can reveal, one step at a time.
Hopefully Luther will not suffer any lasting effects from the stroke. He can't be much older than 50, is he?
