Not for me. The concern for stroke survivors is valid because stroke rehab is a complete fucking failure and nobody is doing a damn thing to fix it.
The following two quotes are going to be my life:
"Your body is not a temple: It's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride." Anthony Bourdain
Part of my Hunter S. Thompson journey;
“Life
should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and
loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Survey: Majority of U.S. adults concerned poor health may impair life experiences
The survey conducted by Know Diabetes by Heart, an initiative of the AHA and ADA, asked 2,000 U.S. adults about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their outlook on time with loved ones and the role that their health plays in living a quality life.
The association reported that respondents with type 2 diabetes (89%), heart disease (90%) or stroke (87%) were more concerned that health would limit their ability to live a full life compared with respondents with none of those conditions (58%).

The survey also identified several generational differences with respect to the impact of health on life experiences:
- Approximately 65% were worried loved ones would not be healthy enough to experience life moments alongside them;
- Millennials (73%) and Generation X (69%) expressed greater concern compared with Generation Z (59%) and baby boomers (58%);
- Gen Z participants were most concerned about health limiting their life experiences (75%), compared with baby boomers who were the least worried (63%); and
- Baby boomers reported greater prioritization of their health as they aged (68%) compared with Gen Z (34%), millennials (48%) and Gen X (65%).
