@llo there skipper, welcome to the cuckoo's nest. Wolf will be round directly with the meds. Try not to get under the orderly's feet.

She is supposed to be coming back to work tomorrow, so I hope so. She was attributing the event to all kinds of different things, stress migraine etc... but the CAT scan (I think) confirmed. She didn't get it checked out for a week, who thinks stroke at her age?

It is related to migraines at that age -that's what they told my SIL. If she's coming back to work, that's excellent news.

No disrespect meant at all, Griff, but substance abusers have a disproportionate number of strokes at a young age. Cocaine, even booze can do it.
so can some of the other drugs kids like to use - like Adderall, ritalin, etc. I don't mean to imply that she is a substance abuser, but docs know it is a possibility.

My SIL was not active at all, either. Her case was quite extreme, she was found unconscious and only just survived. She is permanently disabled now -physically and mentally. I don't know if it could have been prevented. I think griff's cow orker has been extremely lucky by the sounds of it and hopefully will be able to do something to prevent future strokes, but if not, at least know to go straight to the doc. Well that's cheerful, huh? Sorry to bring y'all down.

Shit - I was here to post about my recent low-grade health problems (culminating with a day in bed today, which I HATE to take in this job)
Feels pathetic now... Support and love to those really suffering health issues. Have had catarrh for a while now. Combined with viral symptoms (two tops on and shivering with the heating on - this from the person who would like to live in a freezer) and then sheathed in sweat, drenching the bedclothes with the fan on and the window open. All joints aching, heachache, every tooth in my head hurting, every follicle of hair... Also sickness (prolly from constant coughing) and then diarrhoea. Oh and complete loss of appetitie. Now that is a serious symptom. So after another night last night coughing ineffectively (despite decongestant) and sweating through the bedclothes, waking up every 40 minutes as far as I can tell, I have rested today and am up and about this evening. I will make up the time at school. It won't affect my pay (I'll get a reduced rate as sick pay I think, or maybe even not be paid - I didn't pay attention to the contract!) but Tiger will get the hours he's supposed to. Am still speaking in a hoarse whisper and coughing when I move, but I no longer feel liable to puke in anyone's lap. Damn Reception-level infection rates though. The first job I've ever loved (I did enjoy some of course) and I've had two days off in the first six months. Pathetic. Anyone suggest anything to boost the immune system that actually has medical proof?

Colloidal Silver, while I don't have the required medical documentation I don't really get a day off. Animals need food 7 days a week. My hub and I are rarely ill no matter whose children or those that are sick, we are around.
