One comment so far
My mother had what was described at the time as a “minor stroke”–though it certainly didn’t seem minor at the time.
All the doctors agreed –as Mr. Graves noted in his story–that the most important factor in survival and recovery is getting to a hospital and getting treatment as quickly as possible.
