SPOT A Stroke

Did you know that stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the leading preventable case of disability in the US? Each year, about 800,000 Americans suffer a new or recurrent stroke. Furthermore, someone in the world has a stroke every 2 seconds.
  • 1 in 6 people will have a stroke in their lifetime.
  • 1 in 3 Americans cannot name at least one sign of stroke.
  • When you recognize a stroke and immediately call 9-1-1, the person has a greater chance of getting to an appropriate hospital quickly and being assessed for treatment options like a clot-busting drug or clot-busting device.
  • Someone in the world has a stroke every 2 seconds.
  • In the U.S. stroke is the No. 5 cause of death overall, killing nearly 130,000 people a year.
  • Stroke is the No. 1 preventable cause of long-term disability.

How to spot a stroke F.A.S.T. (the warning signs):

F - Face Drooping - Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.A - Arm Weakness - Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms.

I don't personally know anyone that has had a stroke. I have seen the damage that's caused afterwards. It's pretty frightening.

My friend had a stroke one time and she told me what to look for when someone has had a stroke so now I will know what to look for.

My mother had a stroke in 2002 that essentially took her away from us even though she didn't pass away until 2010. She was never able to speak or do things for herself after that.

My grandfather had a stroke near the end of his life. I try to remind myself of the symptoms every so often; this post definitely helped with that!

My mother in law suffered from a stroke 1 year ago this past August. She's one of the lucky ones, she hasn't lost many of her abilities. Therapy has been a life saver, literally!

Yes, my mother had a stroke several years ago. The sudden confusion and inability to speak clearly was a sign for us of what was happening. When we arrived at the emergency room the Dr. asked my mom, “A lion and a tiger got into a fight. The lion beat the tiger. Who won?” My mom wasn’t able to understand the question. Always go to the emergency room when you see things like this happening.

I had a stroke in 2007 due to a carotid artery dissection. One of the signs is have the person stick out his/her tongue to see if it goes to one side.

My father in law had a stroke about 3 years ago. He still has some weakness on his left side but has come a long way.

My grandmother had a stroke when I was a young child. Recently, an online friend of mine suffered a mild stroke while on vacation with her family. She had a hard time speaking and remembering things she should have been able to recall easily. Her husband insisted she go to the hospital. It's a good thing too!
