Thanks you so much for posting this again. I don’t think I read it the first time. Thank God for the simple aspirin!
My mother at age 70 had her first stroke while they were on a trip to Oregon. My father knew something was wrong but instead of taking her to the ER he put her in the car and drove her back to Texas (no aspirin). This was 1979 and I don’t know if doctors had started telling people to do this or not. They were both as healthy as anyone I ever knew so they probably didn’t ever see a doctor.
After getting back to Texas she continued to have strokes until she was a complete invalid and lived for 5 years that way. When I think that maybe a 1/4 grain aspirin would have prevented this I get very sad.
Actually, the dosage I take is one 5 grain aspirin daily. This is what most doctors recommend.
