This Is not Bus Related but I believe It to be just as Important Recognizing a stroke This might be a lifesaver if we can remember the three questions! Is It a Stroke? This was published in a monthly newsletter where a friend of mine lives and she sent it on. I had never heard this advice before and hadn't a clue. Perhaps you hadn't either and would like to file it away in the back of your head. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say any bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: * ask the individual to smile. * ask him or her to raise both arms. * ask the person to speak a simple sentence. If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage." PASS IT ON.. | ||

After being the accidental perpertrator of the "heart attack while alone" bogus urband legend, I checked this one out and found that it is all True. But if you see one that says make the victim bleed from all his fingers, that one *ain't*!

A year ago my wife suffered a cerebral aneurysm while we were at a Florida campground. Symptoms: Extreme sudden headache to the point of passing out; loss of ability to converse; loss of ability to control voluntary functions and loss of some involuntary functions. A cerebral aneurysm/hemorrhage is often mistaken for a stroke. I packed her head in ice while waiting the three minutes for the ambulance to arrive. They rushed her into the hospital with ice still packed. My wife had an operation that evening that repaired the bleeding veins. They drilled one inch back (between her eyebrows) and one inch down from the top of her head. Miraculously, she has no noticeable loss of her capacity she had prior to this happening. ( I never thought I'd be happy to have her remember all the bad #%$^# I did) One thing I've learned in the two years we'd "full-timed".... Know where all the hospitals are, keep a phone handy, and know the exact location you're at. Oh yeah... and keep a lot of ice on hand. | ||
