Season 6 of the Elaine's Kitchen Table Podcast is here! But why was I off for 2 years?
F - Face - is it drooping?
A - Arms - can you raise both?
S - Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?
T - Time - to call 911 right away!
These are the symptoms I ignored / was ignorant of in April 2018 when I had a stroke.
I wasn't a stroke candidate - not old enough, not overweight, no high blood pressure, etc. Lots of stress yes, but I just didn't think it could happen to me.
Listen in as you hear my story, and you will know why my podcast was paused for 2 years! I am so blessed to be here today, with a large recovery, and I am thankful to speak on behalf of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
