Good information!

Very good. There is another symptom -- have he person stick out his/her tongue. If it goes off to one side, call 911.

Very good. My Dad suffered a small stroke while we were all at breakfast last year. The symptoms were really small but we knew he just wasn't 'right'. He did NOT want to go to hospital ("I'm okay...honest") but we bullied him into it. It was a good thing he went....he was thankful and he made a complete recovery. Sometimes Dads are just too stubborn.

Good for you, Wendy. Sometimes parents don't know best.
