   I have enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months. Sorry to hear about your father. I lost my father-in-law 3 months ago after a series of minor strokes and advanced alzheimer's. Needless to say, it was not a pleasant experiance for my wife or myself. Our best wishes are with you for your father's recovery.

   Thank you for it. My Grandpa had strokes. I am also afraid I will have a stroke.

   I'm glad to hear your father is recovering.

   I'm glad you wrote this entry. My father had a heart attack 2 years ago and fortunately survived and recovered well. The attack came entirely unexpected as my father doesn't smoke, exercises regularly, rarely drinks (1/2 glass of wine in the evening), and is healthy overall. Particularly attacks (strokes, embolisms, etc.) are starngely underrated in our modern world, considering how many people are affected by them on a daily basis. Thank you for the article - it is particularly useful since it is simple to understand. I am certain the post itself will save _at least_ one life.

   Well,
   though it is bad news that your dad had a stroke, it is good that the stroke was only a mild one. Hopefully, the physical/speech therapy won't be too arduous and extensive.

   Long story short.. My dad had a stroke which paralyzed his right side. Really tough road to haul after that. But, it still amazes me that he learned how to handwrite, and even paint again with his left hand.
   And I learned that nursing homes, while seemingly a yucky concept to many until they are faced with such a reality in their life, are full of other such stories and interesting, loving (although sometimes forgetful) people.

   Anyway, while it's tough on your dad, it also deeply impacts family. May you all get the time together you need to work through this.

   THanks for all the effort you have put into your shows and blog.

   Great. I'll add this to the already long list of things vying to kill me.

   interesting thing here: this is really the kind of information that you get when you want to know about strokes. but the fact is: this does not apply to everybody, because these are only the things to watch out for in male stroke victims. for females, some of these things are not true. eg. no numb feeling down one side or in the left arm, instead numb feeling in the stomach.

   but since most stroke patients are male, this is the bit that you read everywhere.

    Hope all goes well

    Truly some great advice you have provided , men are especially bad with going to the doctor , I had a heart attack some 25 years ago when i was in my early 30's and I know it sounds strange it was a good thing as it provided me with a wakeup call to take the time and listen to medical advise

    My mum has suffered with a stroke so i also know how you feel she came through it fine after much convalesing

    steve
    and once again wish you and your family well

    My grandfather just died last weekend from complications related to a TIA (about his 100th, literally), had he known these symptoms 20 years ago he could avoided many of the problems over the years.

    Thanks!

    I am a 38 yr. old male who suffered a stroke. I am 6'2" and only weigh 200 lbs. My cholestral is fine. However, my stroke was caused by my coratid artery tearing when I pulled a neck muscle while lifting an object ( I'm a Postman). For awhile I had migrane headaches, then my tongue felt as if it got stung by a bee.
