This is as much a warning, as anything, to not play around when it gets you. Friday evening, as I was playing around here on TT, I got up around 10pm to get a bowl of ice cream. Got one for the war department, and brought mine back into the office. I sat down, and started to eat it, but I couldn't get the spoon to fit into my fingers. They just seemed numb and didn't want to work. I swung over to the puter, and typed in 'stoke symptoms'. Yup- numbness, lack of control. A sentence to speak- which I did, and not very well. I tried to get some ice cream into my mouth, but it didn't seem to work very well , either. About that time, the war department happened to come into the office. She asked me what was up, and I told her I may be having some trouble- maybe a stroke. She looked at my mouth , and said it was turned down on one side, and reached over and dialed 911. The ambulance was on the way, and my dottir came in the door about a minute later- she's an EMT. By the time the ambulance got here- about five minutes- the symptoms had cleared. But, I went down to the hospital anyway. I just got home a few hours ago- five days in the hospital. I did have a mild stroke- or two- one both sides of the brain. No loss of anything, but a wake up none the less. The docs think it may have been caused by my being nailed by a cow a month ago, or some sleep apnea, of a heart palpitation. They think. Maybe. But they're not sure, so I have another week of tests to go through, several new medicines, and the reality that this getting old ain't fer sissies. But, I was lucky. If you get something like this, don't fiddle around- get to a hospital. You have about one golden hour or maybe less. Believe me- it's scary as all hail. You don't have to ask me how I know......
