Well, decades of first aid training finally paid off*.

My uncle had a fall on Monday and I asked him if it was possibly related to a stroke as he was slurring his words on Sunday and Monday. (I'd just thought he was tired at the time)

He mentioned it to the doctors today and they concur. He's going for an MRI scan

My mother-in-law had two mild, undetected strokes, later picked up when she became quite unwell. The good news is my uncle's prognosis should be a bit better, with rapid intervention

* of course, I patched my dog's paw up once which was a very good use of first aid skills

I've been recovering for over 10 years from what was probably a stroke. Memory loss almost fully restored, but a recent college math class revealed broken connections to ... the multiplication tables, of all things! Successful at comprehending algebra, but CANNOT recall 4x9.

Receptive aphasia is one of the most challenging — and often misunderstood — consequences of stroke. Survivors can hear perfectly well, yet struggle to understand spoken words. This happens when stroke damage affects the brain's language processing centers, particularly Wernicke's area in the left hemisphere.
