From the symptoms you described, though, it would seem as if I'm having a stroke about once a week, which is improbable, but I would like to know more about this. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 This is so sad because the broken hip causes fat elements in the marrow to enter the bloodstream which can precipitate a stroke. I hope her recovery is successful. jp My mother just had surgery for a broken hip. She apparently had a stroke the first night after the surgery. She is 86 and now has difficulty doing anything at all...she's still in the hospital and has not been out of bed since the surgery. Facial skin/muscle drooping, left arm can't be moved, speech impaired....the usual symptoms. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 So sorry to hear this Jeanne. My heart goes out to both of you. . .I will pray.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 20y ago when my little girl was almost 4, she would come running up to me very excited about some newfound delight and open her mouth as if to babble out those toddler words of glee. She would begin to look quite puzzled when words would not come forth, shake her head in quiet disgust, turn and walk sadly away. She reminded me of the struggle I'd seen in others to recapture the verbal realm when strokes, adverse perative events, toxic overloads had made this simple exercise elusive and out of reach. We all know the damage is there. We are all aware of the toll that repair has/is taking in each of our lives. Love, a good deal of fortitude and a hint of a renegade spirit keeps us on this path helping our own and others' children. This is one of the most supportive and knowledgable groups on line!!!! Can we please proceed with more helpful threads? Respectfully, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I was told that the link posted for strokes did not open, so I am re-posting it. http://www.parade.com/health/2008/11/when-strokes-strike-silently You could be at risk and not know it.
