Today I went to a funeral. At the pub, having the sandwiches afterwards, I joined a lady at a table. I had not met her before but her speech was kind of slow and strange . Chatting to her she mentioned that she was a retired dentist and , because I am rude and badly brought up, I asked her if she had had a stroke. |

I did offer to take her but she wanted to see to her cats, which I can understand. |

I had a ministroke and just wanted to curl up and hope it would go away. OH had other ideas and so I found myself in A&E at 3am feeling a bit silly. the meds said that stroke/ministroke sufferers coming in urgently saves the NHS sheds of money further down the line. So Sharron is right her dentist friend was v silly. |

Frightening for your daughter Brian. I am glad it wasn't as serious as feared. Some 14 years ago I had a similar experience and found the NHS were very quick and efficient when it was necessary. |

Get medical attention quickly - either GP or A&E. |

We went to the social club this morning and I spoke to somebody who lives in the village and knows what is going on. |

Thanks for the update Sharron. Interesting that she didn't mention that she normally talks like that. A misunderstanding or a touch of dementia perhaps? |
