From her having the stroke to her being on the way to the hospital was less than 30 minutes and a stroke nurse was waiting for her. Had I not happened to have been there right at that moment she would have suffered physically and mentally more than she did, and could have died. As it it, it was caught so early that last Saturday, she went into rehab to get her moving so she came come home... maybe as soon as a fortnight.
I'm proud that I was there and could help, although I'm posting this really to make you all watch this:
