When Erie News Now hits the air every night, Director Bob Bohen is at the helm.
But in late March, the man who times out our shows to the second suddenly lost a half hour, completely zoned out at home. 
"I have no idea what happened," he said. "I don't know if I passed out. I don't think I passed out."
Unaware of what happened, he still came to work that night, but by the next day, he knew something was wrong and went to the hospital.
"Once you hear that you have had a stroke, it becomes your normal," Bohen said.
He's only 60, but local doctors say middle-aged stroke victims are becoming more common. 
"What I'm seeing more now is stroke in younger people, meaning that it is not just a disease of the elderly," said Doctor Trevor Phinney of UPMC Hamot. "It is a disease of all ages, for various reasons, including uncontrolled high blood pressure. "
That's what happened to Bohen.
Over time, high blood pressure created a blockage in an artery leading to his brain.
"I took a blood pressure test here at work about a week before, and it was sky high," he said. "To the point where Emily Matson said to me, 'You need to go to the doctor and get that checked out.' Of course I didn't."
Doctors were able to clear his clot, and he's expected to make a full recovery, but it's been a long process, and effects still linger. 
"My voice isn't as strong as it was before," he said. "I still have weakness on my left side. I have a little bit of spatial awareness issues on my left side, like sometimes I will walk into doorways."
For months he's been back here at work, doing what he does best.
But he advises *everyone to monitor their health and schedule a yearly checkup. 
"Deep down, I kind of had a feeling that something was going on, and I didn't want to face it, so I just didn't go," he said. "Just stupid. Maybe if I had been to the doctor five years ago, it may have prevented this whole thing ."
Dr. Phinney agrees, stressing the need for yearly checkups, which can detect risk factors and help prevent strokes.
He says stroke care has come a long away, so even if you have a stroke, doctors may have the tools to save your life, if you act quickly.
"With the technology upgrade along with the process upgrade, it's almost a different pathology than it was 10 years ago," he said.
