RECOGNIZING A STROKE:
Remember the "3" steps.
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
1. S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. T *Ask the person to TALK, to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.
(Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today.)
3. R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
If he or she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

My father had a stroke in May. It robbed him of everything he valued in life. He died in July.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in America and a leading cause of adult disability. If you smoke, stop now.
If you think someone may be having a stroke, act F.A.S.T. and do this simple test:
Act F.A.S.T.
FACE
Ask the person to smile.
Does one side of the face droop?
ARMS
Ask the person to raise both arms.
Does one arm drift downward?
SPEECH
Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.
Are the words slurred? Can he/she repeat the sentence correctly?
TIME
If the person shows any of these symptoms, time is very important
Call emergency or get to the hospital fast. Brain cells are dying.
