Sister had STROKE

BeThin · 01-17-2008, 12:42 PM

A few weeks ago I was complainning about how my SKINNY sister can eat anything and she is so skinny and in good health. She could be a model.

LAST NIGHT she had a stroke. I am in total shock.. She is 38, skinny, in good health as far as anyone knew.

NOW she is in the hospital, were all scared for her because NO one is telling us anything.. They found a spot above her temple and that is all we were told beside it was a small stroke.

I am in shock..

Keep is in Prayer.. THIS really makes me want to get in better health, lose weight, and just live better. I am older than her by two years.

Awww! I am sorry to hear this. People can do quite well today after strokes. Praying your sister is well soon.

Sending prayers and good wishes your way. It is scarey just how unpredictable life can be. I'm hoping that she got treatment rapidly. The advances in stroke care in the past few years are asounding. I wish, you, your sister and your family all the best.
