March 18th was a normal day for me this year, it was my oldest sons 26th birthday we went over to the club with some friends an i had a couple of glasses of wine nothing unusual, went home and went to bed as usual, woke up at 3am with a horrendous migraine and started vomiting straight away i have always suffered them but i hadn't had one for 6 years ( i hadn't missed them' I continued to throw up every 10 15 minutes for approx 8 hours, Matt rang around lunch time as he had had quite a a few of these what i'm going to talk about next and loved them i haad even had one the week before and felt fantastic after it. he rang and said are you up for a cryothrerapy session? I was still being sick so passed, but by 5.30 I was good and could make it for a 6pm session remembering they only go for 3minutes and get down to -124degrees in 3 minutes so god dam cold 1.5 minutes into it my head was feeling not good and i thought it''s not worth it im getting out'so i hit the emergency button and the guy came over i said get me out ive done something to my head!!!!!! he said jut do a slow circle you are doing great only 1 90 sec to go i said get me out he hit the button door was opened from then on was crazy matt was there he came over and in minutes i was in the most psin i have ever been in in my life and have had 3 big babies i told Matt Ï think im dying" he said you will be ok abulance took long time and i can just remember lyning on the floor of i think the mens bathroom wherever the shower is screaming when the pain hit then it would give me  release for s few seconds then i startrted screaming again. they took me to Belmont Hospital and transferred me to JHH the next day where i stayed for about 10 days then went to Toronto for nearly 2 months. my stroke has changed my life in a huge way my drinking patterns have dramatically cha i do hope that one day I can get back tohaving 1 or 2 wines with friends but we will see
