I am another stroke survivor. I did not recognize the signs and went the third day before seeking medical attention. I still had no idea what was going on until the ER doc told me I had had a stroke and asked me how long these symptoms had been going on. I had the stroke about 2 PM on a Friday last January and finally went to the ER Monday after giving up that I could not enter a password or even read an email (I am a system admin in IT for a fairly large company). I could not repeat a 4 word sentence when asked, but had little if any physical effects. Strange feeling, and I am still recovering and see improvement as I go along. I went home in 3 days, and back to work in 3 weeks (no I was not anywhere near 100%). I might be wrong, but I would bet there are not 1 out of 10 who would recognize the symptoms. I did a very good job of 'covering' it up too by not saying much to anyone. I knew there was something seriously wrong with me, but had no idea what. So much so that when I left work Monday to finally seek help I prepared to not be back. I called my wife in the truck headed home to tell her to call the doctor and make me an appt. As soon as she told him the symptoms he told her to get me to the ER. Another symptom I had which is rarely mentioned is exhaustion. I slept about twice as much as I normally do - falling asleep in the chair, going to bed early and could not do very little physical work. I have 110 acres and was trying to build fence the next after the stroke. I just hope this helps others see the possible effects and recognize them. I am 46 years old and had not been in the hospital a day in my life prior to this.
