Death is undefeated

The most important thing is to get your life right with God

Death is undefeated but I aint trying to see nobody especially black folks going out by dying of cancer or strokes

 

[MoneyTron]

At the very least, get a physical every year when you enter your 30's.

I get blood tests, EKG, etc every year now.

Black folks don't go to the hospital unless we near death or some shyt on our body is severely broken or about to fall off

Not to be intrusive about someoneçs else's health, but what kind of problems he had with his gallbladder?

He just kept saying he was in serious pain and his appetite completely left him. He couldn’t eat anything and when he did he couldn’t keep it down. The first 2 physicians said they couldn’t find anything the 3rd one was like it might be a gallbladder problem. Looked into it and the doctor was like we gotta remove this before it kills you. He just got out of surgery 4 days ago

So what caused your health problems?

they haven't figured out the heart stuff yet, they think it's related to a condition i had as a kid and (thought i) outgrew cause i didn't have an episode in over 20 years

the other shyt is the kind of stuff that could happen to anybody but you need screening to detect it which is why i was saying not to make the same mistake as me haha

How did you know you were having a stroke and did you ever exercise do cardio before the stroke?

i didn't know until they told me at the hospital, i was standing at my kitchen sink when all of a sudden i had no grip strength to turn the faucet, then i felt just a lil bit lightheaded, then i woke up kneeling on the floor. i thought it was a cardiogenic syncope episode so i kinda braced for impact and didn't get hurt so i didn't think too much of it past mentioning it to my doc next time i saw them. i took a short nap, woke up, raided the fridge and passed out again on my living room floor on the way back, i have no memory of this and saw it only on security camera, i went to the er after this.

been mostly sedentary the past year cause i hurt my groin on both sides but before that i did boxing/bjj/mma/powerlifted basically my whole life, i eat healthy, pretty much the only way i abuse my body is going on huge benders once in a while

At what age did you get a stroke?

You really gotta start cooking yourself too. When I order food it’s hard to find lots of healthy stuff without meat or added Sugar/salts. Thank god my sister moved out cause now I can cook more.

A lot of the recipes and foods we eat regularly really should be limited to holiday, but ppl eat them year round. I’m in a Mediterranean/California diet for the most part, and when I visit family down south, my entire GI tract feels different with that food.

And that’s before you get to weed and alcohol and the turn up culture. Too many brehs with alcohol bellies even when skinny…and too much blunt smoking.
