Don,was your stroke a mild one??


Yes, it was. I was very lucky that there was no damage at all. I was kneeling down and when I stood up I was dizzy, but it didn't pass like those usually do. We went to the emergency room and sure enough, I was having a stroke. After that, every time I got a headache or a little numbness in my face it made me wonder if another was coming.

I would suggest everyone over 40 ask your Doctor about taking one aspirin per day. My Doctors told me that if I had been taking one (as I should have anyway after my heart attack 23 years ago) that I probably wouldn't have had the stroke. It's cheap insurance.

the aspirin is to thin the blood a little isnt it??I have heard about that before,and I think my late father took aspirin,until the doctor put him on the rat poison..
