Here's a couple of pix of Bura taken within the last month. I was shocked when I saw these. That stroke put about 15 years on him.

He definitely looks a lot thinner in the facial features.

Yeah, he doesn't look unhealthy but he looks tired and a lot older.

Health problems put the age on. 3 or 4 major surgeries certainly put some miles on me. But nothing that a hundred thousand dollars worth of plastic surgery and liposuction can't fix -- along with $40,000 worth of dental implants and maybe a transplanted pig's heart thrown in for good measure.

If I had a supermodel for a weekend I wouldn't have to worry about any of it. I'd be dead.

I'm banking on both!
Glad he is still around. He still comes up with some very fine blades. My 12" AK is an exact miniature of the 15" AK that was the first order.
I may be wrong, but they probably have him on some kind of diet besides the medication. The diet may be keeping him thinned down.

I remember after my grandpa had his first stroke, had a similar change. The weight loss was extreme. By the time he died, he looked like a skeleton, but then that may just have come from dying as my dad was very skinny when he passed as well. 
It is good to see that despite the stroke, Bura is still up and at it. I know after his second stroke, my grandpa ceased to be the person I grew up with, and was almost like a ghost for the next few years.
