STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R …
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

And it could be your own.

First reblog post that actually saves a fucking life.

This is a life-saving post.

the more you know

yeah don’t think that this can’t happen to you or someone you know if they’re young. my cousin’s wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year

I’ve had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.

LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG 

Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.

My Grandfather had a stroke two years ago, so yeah I’m Reblogging.

This is the official ‘i care’ symbol. This is how it works:
Basically you reblog this, and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at their message. If you care about your followers please reblog.

I will reblog this everytime I see this.

Multi-awarded actress Maggie Smith was halfway through her cancer treatment when she made Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, starring as Professor Minerva McGonagall. 

“I was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on. I was like a boiled egg,” she said.

The chemotherapy was, she said, “something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself”. “You feel horribly sick. I was holding on to railings, thinking ‘I can’t do this’,” she said.

But she insisted she will “stagger through” the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows. Let’s just pause and ponder on how awesome this woman is, a true Gryffindor.

I will never not reblog this.  This woman is my hero.  I’ve seen what my mom went through with chemo.  To go through it and still put on such a moving performance is something she should be very proud of.

So much love and respect for this woman <3 :) 

Absolutely. I can understand, the chemo and radiation eventually killed my grandfather, so I know what she was going through.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING. read this. I started following this girl and her whole dash ended up these. And her last post. I can’t even say words. Anons took her life. If that okay with you, then carry on with your day. If you agree this is unacceptable and okay, then reblog and spread the word. What you say can actually change a persons life! So help out

I’m a straight women and i see NOTHING wrong with having a different sexuality. You love who you love, man, women, whatever it is!

I don’t understand how you could put some one down for whom the love. How would you feel if some one made fun of you for loving your spouse? It’s night right.And this needs to end.

If you’re gonna send hate messages and tell people they should go to hell because of how they feel inside message me. I dare you.

Whether you’re born loving the same gender you are or some where along the line you realized how your feel about that same gender no one should give a flying fuck.

Love who you want. Ignore the hate. If you ever need to talk to anyone, I’ll be here.♥

Love Has No Gender.

STOOOOP!!!!!!!!

REBLOG THIS NOW!! I REALLY DONT CARE IF YOU THINK ITS GONNA RUIN YOUR BLOG! JUST REBLOG IT!!

I never knew that eleven numbers would be one of the reasons that I’m alive today, but I’m glad that they are.

Otherwise, I’d never have been able to meet the people that I have now, and I never would have been able to see Legend of Korra, and I never would have been able to realize that despite the fact that I am one in a world of seven billion, there are countless people that I didn’t know really cared until the time came for me to see it.

Thank you;

• Mom; who no matter what has told me that my mistakes are what has taught me to be a gracious woman that has matured and bloomed
• My brother; who has accepted my being bisexual and my strange personality, and has stood up for me against all of his friends that have deemed me weird
• My friends at school; who have shown me that people really do care
• My friends on tumblr; who have shown me that that the world is a big place, that it’s full of a lot of people, that we share the same things, have differences, and overall has shown me that no matter what, I’m accepted for who I am, and not what other people want to force me to be.

Thank you.
