I did not know about stroke’s greater statistical risk to women.
Good luck and good health, Virginia Long. Better yet, God be with you.

About 11 yrs ago, I had a TIA,had been to my Dr 3 times in one week, on Sat.my daughter phoned me, stated that she could not understand one
work I was sayin, She then talked my husband in to taking me to my Dr.
Thankfully,because my husband was worried, he saw me,(This was my
Dr brother)He put me in hospital, still sayig it was not a stroke.My daughter
even said to the nurse at hopital she thot I was having a stroke. Still no one
thot so.That was a Sat. Mon morning I guess someone was watching over
me,they sent my by :Life Flight to MCO in Toledo,OH. I came thrr this and
have not had TOO MANY problems BUT MY DR DID NOT KNOW WHAT
A STROKE WAS>My Dr there said it was answer to prayer that I made it
and now it has been 11 yrs. I still have some problems but nothing I cannot
handle. I go to a stroke clinic each 6 months.The Dr that did not know I was
having a stroke now has a large building with several other Dr. I only hope
and pray he now knows what a stroke is. Every Dr studying should be
aware of the symptoms BEFORE they graduate. Thankfully, my daughter,
who is not a nurse, insisted to my husbank to get help.
