Stroke Symptoms - Jennifer Drawdy's Stroke Testimonial




My name is Jennifer Drawdy,
and I am 51 years old.
I woke up early the morning January 20th.
It was a cold morning.
I had brought my two dogs outside to use the restroom.
I had had my coffee going.
I had already had a cup.
It was early, like before 5 a.m.
I'd just got another cup of coffee.
My little black lab and I were going to get back in the bed.
I was reading my book.
While I was walking through to my bed and my coffee...
I don't know what happened, but I collasped I hit the floor.
I noticed that everything on my whole entire left side was numb and paralyzed.
I looked in the mirrors that I have in my bedroom on my closet doors.
I was on my floor and had landed on my right side,
and I noticed that my face began to droop on the left too.
I was unable to get up and get help.
Well, then the next thing that happened, I passed out.
Then, I woke up. I knew something was really wrong and I needed to get help.
For some reason I managed to get my body
across with my right side and my right hand.
I moved across to my cellphone that was on my nightstand,
and I called some of my friends and family.
So, then my aunt called me back.
I was conscious enough to tell her that something was wrong,
and I needed to go to a hospital.
And I said call an ambulance to help me.
If she had a key to my house to please get over.
And when she hung up, I knew that help was coming.
I was on a twenty-four hour critical care watch.
I did take somewhat of a turn for the worst,
but then things began to turn around.
I remember asking throughout while I was in, ICU.
What happened to me?
What happened to me?
and my friends and family would tell me that you had a massive stroke.
I mean it's all about good eating habits and nutrition,
moral support and emotional support,
just understanding and patience with what I am going through now that I'm healing
I want to see my daughter grow up
I want to make a difference in other people's lives.
I want to set a positive example for people.
There's one thing though that I wish I would have done different.
I would have gone to that in-patient rehab,
because they have done so much for me now on an out-patient basis
to help me feel better.
So, I want to take care of myself.
I want to eat right, exercise, get good rest.
No stress. No stress.
Do you know what I think caused me to collaspe on my floor and almost die?
Stress.
The signs and symtoms of a stroke
are like top priorities really for anyone at any age.
If you think you're having a stroke get help immediately.
Call 911.
