Important ep.

In the last episode of Basic AF @tomfanderson.bsky.social and I discuss my stroke, how I knew what happened, what went well, what didn’t, and how my recovery is going. It’s a valuable listen for you or someone you love what to in case you have a similar event. www.basicafshow.com/stroke-an-ac...

For those of you interested in supporting me as I recover from my stroke, my sister set up a GoFundMe, which you can find here. gofund.me/ecb112856

So, I am off of social media for the foreseeable forever, however, this is a pretty important episode of the Basic AF show.
