okay, i'm sorry, but that is complete bullshit
the effects of a stroke can never be totally reversed
pop's had... four?
and he's been at the hospital within three hours of having all of them, had them diagnosed and the damage assessed
he's blind in one eye, incoherant at times etc

sometimes a stroke can't be diagnosed until a scan of the brain is done because the effects are so slight

but ugh, things like that harrass me
sorry
but they do

*shrug* like i said i hope it be true..i figured i'd stick it up just in case aye. i wouldn't know since i don't know anyone personally who has had a stroke..

so uh i can't say i'm sorry about sticking that up since i'm not in the position of knowing, just hoping.

but thanks for ur knowledge.

I was just thinking, those symptoms could easily be said to cover people with a concussion... I mean all that is is a "bruised" brain which could mean you mess up any one of those tasks... hmmm I suppose that's why we do have doctors... these things are so hard to recognise if you've never seen stuff like that before.
However, after saying that, diagnosing a concussion is also INCREDIBLY USEFUL, so I will remember those 3 questions JUST IN CASE.
