Hope you friend is doing better.
ROTF!! VERY good! Thanks, Darlin’!
Thank you. She will be better once she has two major surgeries.
You are so right about being aware of the signs of a stroke. A friend sent this list in an email recently.
Neurologist say if they can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours they can totally reverse the effects of a stroke, totally . The key for success really is in getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and medically cared for within 3 hours.Recognizing A Stroke
Lack of awareness can spell disaster so please read and remember these '3' steps in the form of questions, S * T * R
S Ask the individual to SMILE
.T Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE Coherently. Such as: 'It is sunny out today'
R Ask him/her to RAISE BOTH ARMS
.If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
Also, one additional sign, Ask the person to - Stick out Your Tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
I see you are spelling out the nuerological tests — I was doing all of them and some more today. My daughter noticed yesterday when she arrived and we were eating that one of my pupils was smaller than the other. Which is definitely a nuerolgical signal - but as I do not have any of the other symptoms it is possibly a micro clot or some small internal bleeding. This morning it was not really noticable but she gave me all the nuerolical tests.
The tongue the finger gripping raising the arms following her finger with one eye covered closing the eyes and standing feet together and observing how I swayed. This morning slightly to the right but just now no sway at all. She said my right and left grip were about equal with slightly stronger on the right which is normal.
I suppose I will have to go to the doc and have a few tests. I just don´t like going to the docs with no apparent problem.
“I’m a *%$#^in’ steamroller!”
‘Of course you are dear, that’ll be $5100 bucks...’
*Snerggle*
What a louse Spitz is.
No apparent problem? It doesn't sound like that to me. Yes, you need to go! Seeing a doctor requires only a couple of hours... Be safe, give up a few hours to avoid being sorry for months or even years of speech and physical rehab.
Yes, he is a louse. By all accounts, a mean and self-righteous louse, a serial abuser of his power and position.
I know, I know I am a bad boy.
Well, yes, your are but not for long if you don’t take care of yourself. LOL
True Darlin´, but I don´t think I will ever die of anxiety.
Good night everyone.

Cardi, yesterday, I was so busy teasing you about who posted the video that I forgot to ask on which airline was your daughter flying during that frightful landing.
Darlin’s right, Cardi! I suppose you have turned in for the day, but tomorrow morning, I hope you will make an appointment to get checked out! Better those two hours at the doc’s, than “years of speech and physical rehab!”
Yes, it may sound like we are nagging broads, but we care about our Cardi!
Yeah, just look at what he did for the Town fo Wallkill when the PD was being stupid.
He gave them a slap on the wirst.
(Then there are the guys he ruined because they were opponents of his..)
