Identifying a Stroke Victim

Early symptoms of a stroke can be hard to recognize. Three questions can help.
~~ Ask the individual to smile.
~~ Ask him or her to raise both arms.
~~ Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If they have trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

But remember, the absence of these symptoms does not necessarily indicate that a person is NOT having a stroke. Suspect a stroke when any of these symptoms are present:
~~ Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
~~ Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
~~ Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
~~ Sudden severe headache with no known cause

Five ways fibromyalgia makes you awesome.

You have a real-life superpower. You can withstand incredible amounts of pain that would knock most people flat on their back. You walk around like normal, but inside you are stronger because you have been through so much.
You sympathize with others. Whether they are feeling physical or emotional pain, the battles you have fought taught you to care for other people. You know what it's like to struggle, to be misunderstood and to be ignored, and you don't want others feeling that way.
You can find joy in small things. The limitations of your disease have taught you to take nothing for granted. You may notice the sound of the birds or the color of the sky more than you did before you got sick. You don't take a good day for granted, even if you don't do anything exciting.
You adapt well to change. No one likes change, and most people avoid it. And yet you face uncertainty every single day and conquer it. Each day you wake up and have no idea how you're going to feel and how it's going to affect your life. Yet you manage to adjust to whatever your body throws at you.
You are a medical expert. When you first got sick you thought the doctors would take care of you, but you learned that many doctors are less than helpful. So you went to the internet for information. You learned what sources were accurate and what sources should be discarded. You figured out the minutia of your disease and found a way to live with it. You know more about your illness than many doctors, and that makes you awesome.

Enough is Enough

Doctor: "You've heard enough."

Not Worth the Trouble

"How old are you?" the funeral director asked the bereaved husband.
"Ninety-seven." The man replied.
"Hardly worth going home, is it?" responded the funeral director.

Home Remedies That Really Work

If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.
Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for awhile, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.
If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
Have a bad tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer and then you will forget about the tooth ache.
Finally...be really good to your family and friends. You never know when you are going to need them to hold the vegetables.

Preparing for Your First Mammogram

Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test, and best of all, you can do these simple practice exercises right in your home.

Exercise 1: Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have a strong friends slam the door shut and lean on the it for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough.

Exercise 2: Go to your garage at 3:00 a.m. when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off your clothes and lie on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently chilled and flattened. Turn over and repeat for the other breast.

Exercise 3: Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again.

Congratulations! Now you are properly prepared for your mammogram!

(Note: I hesitated to put this here because I would not want to discourage anyone from having a mammogram. However, people I have talked to who have had a mammogram--including myself--think it is quite amusing. A mammogram is uncomfortable, but not enough to risk your life by not having one.)

Mysterious Deaths

In a hospital intensive care unit, patients were dying in the same bed every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. regardless of their condition. This puzzled doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths took place at the same time every week.
Eventually a world wide team of medical experts were contacted and they decided to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday morning a few minutes before 11:00 a.m the group gathered outside the room--some with bibles, others with crosses and other spiritual symbols to ward off evil.

Just then the clock struck 11 . . .

And then . . .

the Sunday cleaning person unplugged the life support system and plugged in his vacuum cleaner.

Changing Professions

A gynecologist had a midlife crisis. He decided to leave the medical profession and become an auto mechanic. He went to auto mechanic school, and pretty soon it was time for the final exam.
He finished the exam and was amazed that the instructor gave him a grade of 200. He says to the instructor, "I thought the highest you could score on the test was 100."
"Usually it is, "the instructor replied. "I give 50 points for taking the engine apart correctly and 50 for putting it back together correctly. The extra 100 points is for doing it through the muffler."

Faith Healer

A faith healer ran into his old friend Max and asked him how things were going.
"Not so good," was the pained reply, "My brother is very sick."
"Your brother isn't sick," contradicted the faith healer, "he only thinks he's sick. Remember that, he only thinks he's sick."
Two months later they met again and the faith healer asked Max: "How's your brother now?"
"Worse," groaned Max, "he thinks he's dead."

Country Doctor

A young doctor, raised in the city, opened his practice in a rural area of Canada. The second day, his doorbell rang at 4:30 a.m. He stumbled toward the door; his mind scrambling to be alert for what must be a terrible emergency. Opening the door, he was surprised to see a farmer, looking quite fit. "Good heavens, man, what is it?" the doctor asked.
"Nothing much," said the farmer. "You asked me to drop by for my blood test just before breakfast, and here I am."
