Was sitting here this morning when my 26 year old daughter walks in.
She lives next store to my house.
In a very slurred voice she says; Daddy I need help.
I look up and about passed out when I saw her as the letters F.A.S.T. run threw my mind.
I jump up and yell at my wife to go get our grandson as we run out the door.
We left so fast I did not even put my shoes on.
We get to the hospital emergency room.
The nurse takes one look at her and they rush her into the back room.
Now I have over a hour to just sit there and let wild thoughts run threw my head.
At least my wife had the clear head enough to bring me some socks and shoes when she came in the other car.
Finally the doctor comes out to talk to us.
Says she will be fine. She did not have a stroke.
But doc she had all the signs of a stroke.
He explains that she has "Bells Palsy"
It's a virus that often shows the same signs as a stroke.
Gave her several R/X's and sent her home.
You mean to tell me she about give me a real heart attack over some virus that looks like a stroke.
Until today I had never heard of such a thing as Bells Palsy.
Think I am going to go back to bed and take a nap.
Maybe this afternoon will be better than this morning.
