PLEASE learn the signs of a stroke. If you think someone may be having one, do this simple test.
1- Ask them to raise both arms equally
2. Ask them to smile
3. Ask them to say a simple sentence.
If you see they have difficulty doing any of these tasks, get them to the ER right away!!
PS - strokes are not just for old folks, people of any age can have strokes, even children and babies.
Amen, Sister! My Mother had a major stroke 7/3/10 and still has not regained all her speech yet. May never, but she is still with me at 87 y/o. Will be 88 y/o in Feb.
