I’m glad you’re okay and that your husband was there. How scary! I hope the dizziness goes away for you. Thanks for sharing your experience as it helps everyone to be more aware and learn the symptoms.

I see that you’re in Denver (I’m in Loveland)...do you ever watch 9 News? I just found out on FB that one of their anchors had a stroke earlier this year and she has got to be in her 30s!! Her name is Kristen Aguirre and I guess she had to relearn how to walk and use her left hand. They recently posted a video of her running in the gym for physical therapy. Pretty amazing!

Goodness Karen, that's so scary! I'm glad your DH realized what was happening and acted so quickly.

My Dear Karen, I'm so grateful that you are doing better. How very scary!

I want to echo what Hazel said. If you need anything, please let me know and I'll make the time to help out.

Sending so much love and lots of prayers!

I'm glad you're doing better and hope that dizziness goes away. You're very lucky that your husband knew the symptoms and acted so quickly. You definitely have a keeper there!!!

Hi Karen,

Sorry to hear that happened to you, but glad you're okay now!

I first thought I might be having a stroke a couple weekends ago. DH took me to the ER and I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy (temporary facial paralysis.) I was so shocked that this could have happened and I'd been very active all day. Thankful, it wasn't a stroke for me. It just goes to show us that no matter how healthy we think we might be, anything could happen. Hopefully we won't have a repeat of this again.

Karen, I'm so glad your husband was able to diagnose your mini-stroke & get you prompt medical care! I hope your dizziness improves over time. Big hugs & best wishes!
