OT: How to spot a stroke....maybe save a life......S...T....R

December 22, 2008

Hi Folks....

It's that time of the year (Happy Holidays, Folks) when we wind up

dealing with crowds, and famiy gatherings, and...we're aroung more

people than usual...

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the US.....

A number of folks survive strokes.....I'm one....

For my foreseeable future I'll have to use a cane and a leg brace, and

deal with an efeectively useless right arm and hand...

If I had known what was going on.....

So it behooves one to be able to recognize a stroke....not only to help

others, but in one's own interests....

An article from the Alternet's subject mailings today...

Note: Alternet.org is a progressive organization, a tad to the left....

Stroke don't much care about politics, ethnicity, gender, or sexual

orientation....No discrimination..it kills and cripples across boundaries...
