    Part of the reason I started this journey was because I ended up in the ER a few months ago with blurry vision due to extremely high BP. They had to keep me till it came down to be sure I did not have a stroke. My Aunt had a stroke at the age of 21. I have had my BP under control for a while now and have been off the pills, but I just feel the need to get healthy now to be sure I will be here for my kids.
