If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall
- she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food
- while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ.
Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally.
He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR .
Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Ima...now Vs Past
Now, my life is a constant. Nonetheless, this blogging practice is not.
Study-> work -> play computer -> sleep ->study ->work....boring
~the constant circle of my life~
I am loving this boring existence.
...
I am learning to let go of the past and live my life well.
I am truly glad, many of the people I care about has found happiness.
Back to business,
Been to New York for the christmas and new year break.
Hanged out with friends, oooohhh...How I wish time would just pause for these happy moments to last a bit longer....ahhhh....
I want to play mafia, cook soup, make omelette, play tipu...
CanNot! I must not linger or cling to the past, however beautiful it is...
The past is always beautiful in retrospect.
I miss you all, my dear friends in BP, INTEC and New York. All the best to you all.
