Tuesday, April 07, 2009 
My family and a few of my close friends knew that I suffered a stroke this past February. I also found out that I am diabetic and have high blood pressure too.  I lost control of the left side of my body. I have been doing exercises and will recover everything in 6-12months. Needless to say, This is why I havent been seen out in the clubs or on the radio show.

I am taking 12 prescriptions a day and Im on a very restricted diet. But, Im doing fine, Ive gone back to work and Im driving now!

Shooting for the first Sunday night in May to go back to the radio show.
