Municipal Agent Notes By John Sullivan
This advise comes from Steven R. Zeiler, MD, PhD,
head of stroke research at Johns Hopkins Medical
Center in Baltimore, writing in the February 2018
issue of Bottom Line Personal. If you know or sus-
pect you’re having a stroke, it’s critical that you get
to an emergency room ASAP, Dr Zeiler cites two im-
portant new findings: 1. The sooner you begin rehab
-every second that you save may stop precious brain
tissue from dying-the greater your chances of recov-
ery. In animal studies in a lab, waiting just one week
to start rehab led to significantly worse outcomes. 2.
A certain medication can prevent that stroke recov-
ery window from closing too quickly. Dr. Zeiler rec-
ommends asking about the drug FLUOXETINE. Re-
cent research as shown that this drug-an antidepres-
sant also known as PROZAC-started within one day
after a stroke not only improves recovery but also
extends the length of the recovery window. Other
drugs in the same class also seem to improve stroke
recovery, but FLUOXETINE is backed by the most
data. Dr. Zeiler advises-don't just rely on rehab ser-
vices, but endeavor to actively engage your brain by
playing games on a tablet, working on puzzles or
having a real conversation. You want as much of
your brain back as possible-so use it as soon as possi-
ble. While these measures are important during the
emergency phase, Dr. Zeiler points out that many peo-
ple who have had strokes can continue to improve for
months and even years. So never give up!
Best Regards, John
John’s Tip of the Month
The University of California, Berkley Wellness Letter
advises that, ounce for ounce, green peppers have three
times much vitamin C as oranges. An red and yellow
peppers have twice a much vitamin C as green ones: a
whopping 170 milligrams in 3 ounces. Green peppers
also supply some beta carotene, but the amount in-
creases greatly as a pepper matures and turns red or
yellow. Moral: Choose red or yellow peppers.

Dear Readers,
My article this month is much different than I planned to
write for April. It has no humor or funny stories of my
past days living my life here in Windsor Locks. It’s about
how your life changes in a split second when you least
expect it. That is exactly what happened to me on Sunday
morning January 28th, 2018. My daughter and son-in-law
told me the sad news that my oldest son Peter, died that
morning from a massive heart attack. How is that possible
I asked myself? Peter was never sick, always had a smile
for me, always kissed me when I visited at the garage. The
last time I saw Peter was Christmas Eve at his brother
Tonys’ house. The whole Giannelli clan was there having
fun, laughing, great food opening gifts, wishing everyone
a “Merry Christmas” when it was time to say goodnight.
How did I know it would be my last time to see Peter. I
didn’t. I have the memories of that night now, his new
shirt I admired, his smile, his good night kiss. I wish to
thank the Senior Center staff for their help and comfort
during those difficult days. To our wonderful community
of Windsor Locks, thank you so much. Peter was truly
loved by so many friends and family and will be sadly
missed by everyone. Have a beautiful and blessed Easter
season. Mary Ann Giannelli
