The Cap, Chapeau, Or Hat Or Bonnet,

Put photos here of you wearing a cap, chapeau, hat or bonnet that is very special to you, an old, comfortable hat to keep you out of the sun or rain, an elegant bonnet such that you would wear to a coronation or the Kentucky Derby, a national cap or hat of some kind, something you would find at a millinery or haberdashery shop, most especially something with a story to tell.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month - Know the Signs of a Stroke

Return to Discussions

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. I had a stroke last Fall when a friend of mine was coming over to meet me for coffee. When he got there I couldnt talk, I had a droopy face and my right side was paralyzed, but he recognized the signs of a stroke, called 911, and within an hour of having had the stroke, I was in the hospital. Be sure you know the signs of a stroke as well.

Face - is it drooping?
Arms - can you raise both of them?
Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?
Time - to call for help.
