Brain = time. The faster you get help the more likely a person is to survive a stroke with fewer deficits.
Because of response, mom was at the hospital within 30 minutes, was treated within that golden hour, and was home within 2 days with no deficits.

We had similar amazing luck with our partner. Scary fucking experience but we got him to the ER as fast as we could and he was discharged within a. Couple days with barely any lingering effects.
Remember, BEFAST

Yep. Time = tissue, or time=brain. Getting certain thinners to "unclog" ischemic stroke victims' vessels after confirmation of ischemic vs hemorrhagic does wonders for stroke victims who are found, scanned, and treated in time! Huzzah to your momma!

I work in medical imaging and hate to see hospitals use use Citrix for PACs image viewing. It ruins image quality and can cause clinically significant errors. Legal issues if a savy patient catches them. Hospital IT uses it because it’s cheaper than deploying full desktops with clinical grade equipment. Rant over.

... Is this a bad time to point out her brain is the shape of the Millennium Falcon?
Stargazingmommy
I am definitely pointing that out to her

How's she doing lately?
I'll tell ya, I'm still missing my mom.
Stargazingmommy
She's really doing well. There's some memory loss, and she's more forgetful now, but really she's doing great

I’m sad. 5 years ago the hospitals totally fucked it up and my poor husband withered away ever so slowly
Stargazingmommy
I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my husband's almost 9 years ago. It really doesn't get easier

I am sorry for your loss. It’s really hard to gather the will to continue, some days
