And now, something serious
Barbara, a friend of ours, was playing bridge yesterday when the left side of her body went numb. Although the incident swiftly passed, we were fortunate to have a physician playing and he strongly urged her to take an ambulance and go to the ER. That’s, of course, the right thing to do.
Our friend was fortunate–she had a TIA (transient ischemic attack), sometimes the precursor to a stroke. She will be fine and can discover what caused the issue. A night in the hospital and back on the golf course.
This seems like a time to review the stroke awareness poster. There is a natural tendency to deny the seriousness of strange new symptoms, but strokes need to be treated quickly–much of the damage they cause can be ameliorated with quick treatment. Pay attention to what is happening to yourself and to your friends. Don’t be in denial if you have the symptoms or you see another with them. Take action and save a life.

This is SO right!
