Happy Wednesday, everyone!

National & World Days – October 29
Image
Today we’re highlighting World Stroke Day!
It’s a great reminder to know the warning signs of a stroke β€” acting quickly can save a life.

Remember the acronym FAST:
πŸ‘‰ F – Face drooping
πŸ‘‰ A – Arm weakness
πŸ‘‰ S – Speech difficulty
πŸ‘‰ T – Time to call 911

Knowing what to look for makes a big difference!

Question for you:
Did you already know what FAST stands for, or did you just learn something new today?

I had seen it before, but for sure I needed a refresher. My son had a stroke about 8 years ago when he was in college, luckily his brother was there and he called an ambulance. The doctor said it had been the energy drinks and workout supplements. It happened the evening right after his last final exam for the semester.
