I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. All of us have to recognize signs of a stroke. Google F.A.S.T. warning signs of a stroke. Learn them! You only have two hours from the onset of a stroke before clot busting medication is ineffective. Knowing the warning signs might save your life or help prevent permanent brain damage and paralysis.


I spent an entire day in the emergency room, an entire day in neurological intensive care and two additional days in a hospital room on the stroke ward. I am home now able to take small steps with the help of a cane. Physical therapy will prayerfully help some. I can move my arms and legs but the left side is noticably weaker than the right side. I tire easily so keep the prayers going. Thanks to all of you for the prayers and well wishes.

Glad to hear you are doing okay. Definitely sending a prayer up for ya.

I lost my grandmother to a stroke a few years ago, she knew something was wrong immediately and called 911 herself and was in a hospital within 20 minutes but unfortunately it didn't work out. It's definitely important to know the signs if you want any chance of being a survivor.
