Please send my warm wishes for a full recovery to her. Hang on a minute, I wrote this bit before I read the ending. It seems like she has almost made a full recovery apart from a few hurdles to get over. Wow, a silver lining for true mate. Everyone seems to have been at the exact right place at the exact right time. How many people does that happen to? My prayers are with her. Keep us updated. <br /><br />I must not forget to mention those students. We always get to hear about the bad things that youths do these days but they did good and everyone should know about it. You should try to get a piece in the local paper or something, as they really helped towards saving her life. Donna should organise a nice fun day with that class. Take them bowling, buy a meal, catch a film etc... <br /><br />Ah, I really loved your 'stool sample', I almost choked on my gin and ice when I first scrolled down, but I get it now, ha ha ha ha.

It really was fortunate that the stroke happened at school where she was able to get the help she needed--immediately. Sadly, my brother was only 54 when he suffered a massive stroke. It happened in the middle of the night and his wife was right beside him, but slept through it all. It was too late for the TPA once she figured out what was wrong with him. Now he is not the same person--half the memory is gone and he can't use his right arm. He once had the IQ rating of a genius. Now he can only do 3rd grade level math and has limited reading abilities. It is SO important that everyone learn the early symptoms of a stoke in order to prevent some of these devastating effects. menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506350038293853271.post-74532950861415320232013-05-03T20:09:59.125-05:002013-05-03T20:09:59.125-05:00Hey Kristi...
