STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters...S.T.R.

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition

instead. It only takes a minute to read this..A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized,diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR. Read and Learn! 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:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. .It is sunny out today).

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. .

MISSION INN SEEKS NEW TOUR GUIDES

People who enjoy learning about local history, interacting with others from all over the world, and are fascinated by the Mission Inn are encouraged to enroll in the Mission Inn Docent Training Program for volunteer docents. The class begins in mid September and meets at the Inn on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 P.M. Graduation will be in May 2012 after which newly-minted docents are asked to lead or assist in four 75-minute tours each month for two years.

The Mission Inn Foundation and Museum offer the course which is patterned after the Los Angeles County Museum training and consists of lectures, videos, hotel tours, and discussions. Topics include the history of the Mission Inn beginning in 1875 along with the history of Riverside and Southern California. Also presented will be the art, artifacts, and architecture of the Mission Inn and other interesting background information explaining the road to Riverside’s premiere hotel becoming a National Historic Landmark.

For information on becoming a docent or volunteer at the Museum call the Mission Inn Museum at (951) 788-9556 or visit this website: http://www.missioninnmuseum.com/docents/index.htm. People who are fluent in a second language or American Sign Language are particularly needed.

You are buying the last available of from the Chantilly Lane of this model. It is now retired from the manufacturer. This 12" Mother Panda and Child are awesome. Their mouths move, heads sway as they sing "Button up your over coat". Both separately and as a duet. They have on mittens and scarfs. Their names are Lois and LuLu. They originally sold for $35.00 in most stores. Grab yourself a bargain. $22.00 including tax and I will deliver it to your home.

Please call me at (951) 277-0047
