thanks

Good info.
Great info.
Just had a close family member have a stroke during Thanksgiving. The problem was, she took a nap and had the stroke in her sleep. Nothing you can do about that type of situation. Don't know if there were any signs before she lie down, but they were there when she woke up and started talking to her daughter. She was immediately taken to the hospital. Now, she has a long road to recovery ahead.
Thx. Lost a mil brother last year to his second stroke. He was wilding out though.
Strokes are definitely serious biz. Have known a number of people who have suffered them. Family members, friends, coworkers, clients I've worked for. Grandma suffered one while babysitting us as kids, and again decades later at my graduation. Mentioned a few times a close friend suffering one a few years back. Spring of 2016, if I recall correctly. English 2nd language and had experienced a brain injury back in the 80s as well. After the stroke he was hospitalized for 2 months ... plenty of speech therapy and struggled for quite some time with the basics like "Hello" and "How are you?". Still recovering to this day in his early-60s.
Agreed. That's a real challenge when it occurs when someone's in rest state. As you don't quite know how long it's been since they experienced the stroke. Might have been minutes ... may have been several hours already. When my friend had his people noticed he was really quiet & not able to vocalize anything. A really neutral state, so to speak. Limited emotion. No pain whatsoever. When grandma had her stroke back in the 80s she was having vision problems with one eye & complained to my parents when they came home that the TV reception was fuzzy/blurry. It wasn't. The picture was fine. When she had the stroke at my graduation I was with her afterward & she didn't know where she was. She was confused and disoriented. Asked why my parents didn't attend the grad event. They had been sitting with her for 3 - 4 hours. A friend of mine said she came across her in the hallway earlier that day and she was lost coming back from the washroom. It was about a 30-second walk around the corner from where people were having snacks & drinks following the ceremony. When I realized what had probably occurred ... I got home a few mins later & called pops and we took her straight to the ER.
Thanks for that drop
Thx @HFunk
To me...yes but when I saw him before he died I asked him seriously. Man are you ok? I mean, a stroke is a life changing event dude. We talked for about two hours and to me, he seemed ok. I even asked him about his speech, motor movements and.....man this is bad but he told me he stopped taking his stroke meds and was smoking weed. I also think he was doing cocaine but....yeah. I said ok, bruh just be easy man. You ain't exactly a spring chicken no more.
A few months later he had another massive stroke and he basically died before they could get to him.
thanx 4 this, u never know when ull need it

I experienced it some years ago. Woke up and thought i had slept on my arm because it felt numb and heavy. went to work like normal. but it was like that the next day, so i was like let me go to the hospital.
was there for 5 days because my BP was so high they wondered how i was alive. cat scan and stuff showed the damage in my brain. my left arm still feels heavy and i get occasional numbness in my fingers.
i'm high risk, both parents got hypertension, all grandparents and many family members. got it under control with meds

Few months back mama mask had something that's like a stroke but they don't call it that.
Very very light but on the lines of one. Crazy thing was they didn't find what caused the malfunctioning.
There is a special protocol if you come to the Emergency Room with stroke symptoms they have an emergency response.
He seemed like he was but the wildest shit he told me before he died is I don't take the medication anymore. I'm like bruh what? You had a stroke man. That's a life-changing event. He was smoking weed and snorting. Retired Military. Ask me if I wanted some. Hell nah, he was older too, and the saddest shit ever, his wife allowed him to do that. I tried to attend the funeral but the wife didn't let me know anything.
Mother and bro suffered a stroke back to back months last summer.. mother was in coma for 7 days.. miraculously did a full recovery and chilling and vacationing now. Bro recovered to but had to get surgery on a few unrelated things. In recovery
