conv: Laying in the hospital after having a mini stroke and the last visitor of the day says good bye is a very sad time. Have you ever been hospitalized? It's not much fun. I had a mini stroke and was stuck there for a few days. I have - but not for anything that severe. Are you suffering any side effects of the stroke? I am 99% me  The hardest part of the hospitalization was at the end of the day when my last visitor would go home. I am not good at being alone. Yup - I know that feeling. And it's always so hard falling asleep in those uncomfortable beds with an IV in your arm.
