General Discussion

I suspect a lot of us would ignore or make excuses for those important cues: no big deal, just need a little more sleep, yada, yada. Human nature, I guess. We never want to believe something really dreadful is happening. How lucky for you that the series of events occurred the way they did and you received timely medical intervention.

As for the clot buster? My father-in-law had a stroke and received the same medication. He survived the stroke and ended up with few if any stroke side-effects. My youngest son was amazed. My husband and I were living nearly 700 miles away . My son called from the hospital and was crying because he thought it was over for Pop. But within 30 minutes of the meds, my father-in-law was back to himself, struggling to sit up and asking everyone: What happened??

Incredible!

Best of wishes for a full recovery. Thanks, too, for the community heads up on the Golden Hour.
