40. Many years ago, my late husband had a stroke.

Jan 2025

It was pretty nasty, but there are no "good" ones. While he was still in the hospital, the social worker there took me aside to let me know what types of changes to expect. This one stood out...she told me that if he had a particularly strong personality trait, one of two things would happen. It would intensify, or completely do a 180 and reverse.

Fetterman's recent comments make me think he did a 180.
