my dad had a stroke after picking me up from school one day last year. he is now paralyzed on his entire right side. in his situation, he made it to the hospital in about an hour, but he had the type of stroke where cells rupture, not clot, so the effects couldnt be reversed. i remember him saying that he was dizzy and nautious, maybe something else to think about. he sat down in his chair and pretty much just couldnt move after abouyt 10 minutes. i didnt think he was gonna make, i was terrified. a stroke is by no means something to be taken lightly. im 17 and now i pretty much take care of my dad, he himself is only 51. this could really save a life, great information. everyone on this board could benefit from information like this.
