Know the Signs of Stroke

[Trek420]

If you think someone may be having a stroke, remember to act F.A.S.T. and do this simple test:
F—FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A—ARMS: Ask them to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S—SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?

T—TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

I had a (non athletic) family member who had a major stoke, waited over 24 hours, would not do the therapy required ... never recovered. Your MIL has had a mini stroke yet continues to be active (gardening) and lives actively and independently at over 80. We're all at risk but I think tending to be active helps in many ways both before and after. It'll be ok.
