That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost. Forwarded with pleasure. I had a stroke in 1997. A friend of mine recognised it and immediately summoned an ambulance. I was rushed to Monash Hospital Emergency Unit. By the time I arrived at the hospital my right side of the body was completely paralysed. But fortunately for me I felt a slight movement of my right big toe. That gave me the confidence that I may ultimately come round if I worked hard on my rehabilitation. I was sent to a Rehabilitation Centre, where I learnt assiduously to write again etc. I complemented it with Pranava AUM led to meditation and some of the Pranayama practices, which I had learnt from revered Dr Swami Gitananda Giri, the Spiritual Head of the International Centre for Yoga Education & Research, Pondicherry during five months in 1988/9. At the end of a month I was discharged, with visits periodically to the Centre for monitoring my progress. After three months I was summoned by the Head of the Centre. I thought it was for another check up. Whereas when I met him he told me that he had summoned me only to find out how I had recovered so fast, whereas persons who had been admitted about the same time were yet in different stages of rehabilitation. I told him of my secret, about the life-giving and soul-redeeming Pranava AUM and other Pranayama practices. He was impressed, but I don’t think any serious notice was taken to act on my information, though I volunteered my services. But if you are interested to know more please feel free to read my website or contact me on sribala. .. Thanks. love, Sri Bala.

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. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) 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 party . 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... STROKE IDENTIFICATION: 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 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 * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today'). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
