You could save a life.

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.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets reads this shares it with others you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

….and it could be your own…..

Gone are the days

When

The school reopened in June,

And we settled in our new desks and benches!

When we queued up in book depot, And got our new books and notes!

When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

We learnt writing withs lates and pencils,

and Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!

When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to Color pencils and finally sketch pens!

When we started calculating first with tables and then with Clarke’s tables and advanced to
Calculators and computers!

When we chased one another in the
corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms


Drenched in sweat! When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds,under the trees and even in cycle sheds!

When all the colors in the world,Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!

When a single P.T. period in the week’s Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!

When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!

When few played”kabadi” and “Kho-Kho” in scorching sun,

While others simply played “book cricket” in the
Confines of classroom! Of fights but no conspiracies,

Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!

When we used towatch Live Cricket telecast,

In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!

When few rushed at 3:45 to”Conquer” window seats in our School bus!

While few others had “Big Fun”, “peppermint”, “Kulfi”, “milk ice!”

and “sharbat!” at 4o Clock!
Gone are the days Of Sports Day,and the annual School Day,
And the one-month long preparations for them.

Gone are the days Of the stressful Quarterly,Half Yearly and Annual Exams, and the most
enjoyed holidays after them!

Gone are the days Of tenth and twelfth standards, when
we spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,We enjoyed,We played,We won,We lost,

We laughed,We cried,We fought,We thought.With so much fun in them,

so many friends, So much experience, all this and more!

Gone are the days When we use to talk for hours with our friends! Now we don’t have time to say a `Hi’!

Gone are the days When we played games on the road!

Now we Code on the road with laptop!Gone are the days

When we saw stars shining at Night!

Now we see stars when our code doesn’t Work!

Gone are the days When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms…..!

Gone are the days Where we studied just to pass!

Now we study to save our job!

Gone are the days Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!

Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!

Gone are the days Where we shouted on the road!Now we don’t shout even at home
Gone are the days Where we got lectures from all!

Now we give lectures to all… like the one I’m doing now….!!

Gone are the days But not the memories, which will be Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and Ever and ever and ever…..

Gone are the Days…. But still there are lot more Days to come in our
Life!!NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,

DONT FORGET TOLIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL

EXISTS……
