Neurologists say that if they can get to a Stroke victim within 3 hours they can totally reverse the effects of a Stroke...totally. They say the trick was getting a stroke recognised, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNISING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the 3 steps, STR. Please 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 recognise the symptoms of a Stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognise a Stroke by asking 3 simple questions:
S Ask the individual to SMILE
T Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently ie It is a sunny day today".
R Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS
Note: Another "sign" of a Stroke is this: Ask the person to "stick out" their tongue. If the tongue is "crooked", if it goes to one side or the other, it is also an indication of a Stroke.
If he or she has difficulty with ANY ONE of these tasks, please call for help immediately and describe the symptoms to the emergency services.
Your awareness & help could save a life.

Wednesday 20 June 2007 An Introduction to Social Enterpise - Northampton University Sunley Management Centre
As a member of the Northampton University Enterprise Business Club I am often privileged to be invited to motivational and interesting lectures. An Introduction to Social Enterprise will be very informative as my dream one day is to open a Therapy Centre for very poorly clients in Northamptonshire to show them how powerful the complimentary therapies are in the battle to get well.
I have had two very poorly times in my life - when I broke my back after a ladder fall in 1992 and again after an accident at work at a bank, which resulted in my right hip being resurfaced in 2005. The special love and attention I received from my therapists have given me the wonderful quality of life I enjoy today.
Thank you to all the good people who work so tirelessly to make the Northampton University Enterprise Business Club so successful.

Monday 18 June 2007 Summer Lunch VIP Club
Recently I have become the Secretary of the Northamptonshire Association of the Blind, having previously been a committee member for only 5 months. Locally known as The VIP Club (Visually Impared Persons) to our very special members! I have had the honour of organising the Summer Lunch whilst our Chairman Barbara Brogden has been on holiday. 35 invitations were given to the members, the drivers and helpers, as this special lunch is to thank the members for the fun and friendship that they give us. It is also to express our great thanks for their friendship and hard work that the drivers and helpers give so generously.
We have a great time at our Monday monthly meetings with lots of chatting and an interesting speaker. Afterwards its the most delicious afternoon tea of delicate sandwiches and the most scrumptious homemade scones and cakes. We sure know how to live!
If you know of any visually impared persons who you feel may enjoy our VIP Club based at Moor Fields, Towcester, Northants please feel welcome to contact me for more details. We would be delighted to make them welcome.
