A Stroke has a new indicator

It was the "strangest" feeling ever....and not in a good way. Started my day as normal. Then got a bit of a headache, that turned into a bit of tunnel vision. Then about 20-30 minutes later it was like everything around me was slowing down. By the time I realized I need to get help, I thought it was to late. In my own mind I thought I was talking but later found out that I was not. I knew for some reason my hands would not work like I wanted them to. I reached down for a drink and I could not grab or lift the can. Then my hands and arms drew up over my right shoulder. My face was pulled back to one side and somehow managed to wedge my feet and legs between the passengers seat and console as my mom was taking me to the hospital. It was one of those things that I thought was no big deal, until it was way past "normal". I would not wish that one ANYONE AT ANYTIME. I have been VERY lucky in the fact that I have pretty much recovered, except for a few pesky things. I sometime mix words in a sentence. I do not have the same hand/eye coordination that I once had. I also do not have anywhere near the memory that I once had. All in all I feel very, very lucky! If you ever get a severe headache....SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION...period!
