Way to go. It's a credit to you that you realized what was happening.

I'm curious as to how you handled it at the hospital. Was there a SO involved and if so what was your cover story? I'm not sure I would want to stick around and wait for the questions from family that are sure to come.

Way to go VL

if you think someone is having a stroke

1. ask them to smile
2. ask them to raise BOTH arms over their head
and
3. ask them to speak a simple sentence like "it is sunny today" Or "pussy is good"

If they can't.... call 911!!!!!

Thing about TAKING them to ER is that the ambulance can give them meds on the way and I was told I can't drive and perform CRP at the same time. (I know, I know hard to explain the place you were picked up from.)

I'm so glad he made it OK and you are a life saver.

Ive recently had a similar experience. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Awesome V L -- just awesome! TY

Thank you for the information. I have a few clients that are very mature and I am always afraid something like this might happen.

Wow, that's nuts! You're awesome, Vikki!

Thanks everyone..I just acted I guess didnt really think...

He has no family in Texas so I passed my self off as his niece who was just connecting with that side of the family so I didnt know any medical history

FYI any you chicks have a stroke while with me I will

1. Ride out the convulsions.
2. Put you in a shopping cart and drop you off at the HEB.

Wow, arent you the nice guy...

Yes I am.

he was acting funny....stuttering..confused. ..unable to speak at times.... Originally Posted by VictoriaLyn

However, if anyone ever sees me displaying this behavior, don't take me to the ER too quickly. I tend to display the same symptoms under the influence of alcohol and good pussy!
