A stroke is just a blood clot in the brain.
Not necessarily. Blood clots can cause a stroke, but not all strokes are caused by blood clots.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

Not saying that the vaccines might not be an influencing factor, but along with the virus came lockdowns, school closures and a major disruption in a lot of peoples lives… I’ve read that alcohol and drug abuse have skyrocketed and most people gained quite a bit of weight since all this Schitt started…gyms were shut downs and a lot of city folks got less exercise… there’s a long list of changes that have happened since the onset….hell, I’ve had two doctors appointments since, and they were both done over the phone… Good points, all.

One.......my brother. Three weeks ago this Thursday.

A stroke is just a blood clot in the brain. Not necessarily. Blood clots can cause a stroke, but not all strokes are caused by blood clots. An ischemic stroke is when the blood supply has been cut off to a part of the brain. It’s been referred to as a “brain attack” because, like a heart attack, the injury is caused by ischemia (an inadequate blood supply). A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into the brain from a ruptured blood vessel.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into the brain from a ruptured blood vessel. Most of the dolts here don't understand this distinction, or ore likely don't care - the underlying intent of many posts is clear. Nevertheless.... I have become a stroke expert in short time. 2 weeks ago Sat my wife and I were relaxing on the couch. She looked at me and said, "something is not right". I knew it was a stroke (3 quick tests) and called 911 in under 30 seconds. Full left side paralysis. 25 minutes later she was at McKee in Loveland, TPA (clot busting) on board in under an hour, and she was airlifted to Swedish in Denver into ICU in under 2 hours. 4 days in ICU. We had both also been sick as chit for 2 weeks, and tested positive for COVID. I was kicked out, and Kim got to spend 2 of 4 days in ICU alone. 2 massive clots.... TPA busted them up. The helicopter ride to Denver was because they thought they'd have to fish the clots out through her arteries, or supportive care. The DR's message was, "this was the perfect stoke, you guys dodged a bullet" Every test came back clear... She is still wearing a monitor to look for A-Fib, but there is none. Only smoking gun for her stroke is COVID + hormones she is taking (estrogen), apparently a massive issue all the sudden these days that they are starting to dial into. She has been cleared for work tomorrow. COVID, during all of this, sucked. I have been 20% of myself while managing my wife's medical crisis, who, oh, also has COVID. I never intended to post here again to be honest - why bother. I only did share this, because if one person decides to LEARN THE SIGNS OF STROKE, it will be worth it any dumbfuggery coffee jokes or whatever here. Please, spend 10 minutes looking it up. Stick a tongue out. Repeat a simple sentence. Raise both arms horizontal to the ground.

1. My 56 year old healthy buddy. I nursed him back to health but I would bet he’ll have another eventually.
