What's So Great About Miso

and reflecting on 5 years stroke-free

First - hello again! I’ve missed you!

I have been spending most of my time with my Mighty Networks Group and making new vids for YouTube! I am doing a new YouTube Series called Plant-Based Basics, so if you haven’t checked them out yet, here is my latest video I just uploaded on Saturday. Hope you enjoy it.

And also, today is a day of reflection, as it was this very morning 5 years ago that I had a stroke.

I remember I felt just plain weirder than normal🤣 and asked my wife to take me to the doctor (I know - dumb move). I was slurring my words but refused to entertain the idea it was actually a stroke. The doc took one look and said "Get to the ER, NOW (stupid)".

For the next 24 hrs I was poked and prodded until they confirmed that yeah - I had what they called an Ischemic Stroke.

I remember that like Chef AJ and her cancer, I was afraid to tell anyone. And I was ANGRY.....so angry because Why?!?! I have been eating a WFPBBO diet for years now! WHY?!

And I still remember the doctor who said. "You know, I see a lot of stroke victims come in here, and they usually don't end up so well. So don't be mad that you had a stoke as a vegan.... be THANKFUL that you ARE vegan, because it probably saved your life."

I have an older YouTube Video where I talk about it.

And I am thinking of doing a 5 year reflection video this weekend.... what do you think? Or would you rather have another food video instead.

Maybe a , "What's so great about Soy Curls" video.....

Thoughts?
