Ingredients

  • This is to all that reads this. The only reason I poasted this is to get the word out about Stroke Symptoms. May I suggest that while you are on the page just click up there where it says send to friends and send this to as many people as you can. I think that working together we can let everyone know about Stroke Symptoms. shopping list

How to make it

  • Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
  • (Top of Pic) Area of brain deprived of blood
  • Blood Clot
  • (By neck) Blood vessel
  • (Under Second Pic)
  • Blood unable to pass clot
  • STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
  • If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
  • Seriously..
  • Please read:
  • STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
  • During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
  • They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
  • Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
  • It only takes a minute to read this...
  • A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
  • RECOGNIZING A STROKE
  • Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read
  • and Learn!
  • Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
  • Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simplequestions:
  • S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
  • T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
  • (i.e. It is sunny out today)
  • R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
  • If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks,
  • call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
  • New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
  • NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
  • A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to
  • 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

    Thank you for this great info, Blue. I had a stroke at the early age of 22. I woke up one morning and I could not move or call out to my hubby in the living room, to say that I need help. But I had a smart hubby who knew that something was wrong, when I didn't get up to cook breakfast so he checked on me and took me to the ER.

    My Friend, I cannot thank you enough for posting this invaluable information. I have this irrational fear of having a stroke. It's something you hear all the time. My husband has a heart condition and I constantly watch for any signs. I will hang on to this. Again, thank you for having the courage to post this on a recipe site.
