Half her face is going numb. She is familiar enough with the existence of such symptoms to recognize she is experiencing them.
She's early, it gets way worse the longer you wait. You can tell just by the way she slurs and sort of hunts for words that somethings up. I wish her luck.
I hope she has some DMSO on hand
Is that good for strokes?
EXACT same thing happened to me ... I thought I was having a heart attack though ... I had every damn symptom of one except pain. I fucking hate those things.
Fair enough. My mother had a pulmonary embolism while I held her in my arms, trying to walk her back to bed. I thought she was having a stroke. She was a retired R.N. and she knew it was not a stroke, although she did not know exactly what was happening. She was alert and aware the whole time we waited for the ambulance to arrive.
