Glad she's alright mate and hope she fully recovers soon.

What is the current advice on what to do in the event of a stroke?

Echo everyone else by saying that I hope she's ok and makes a full recovery mate.

Sorry to hear this mate, my sister had a stroke at about the same age, made a full recovery, so hopefully all will be well in the end.

Remember

S T R

S......can the person Smile

T....can the person Talk, ask them to repeat a simple sentence

R.....ask them to Raise both arms

others are ..can they poke out their tongue straight, does it hang to one side.

personally the FAST campaign i believe is the best

F- Face, any drooping/ loss of symmetry of face
A- Arms, can they lift there arms up by themselves against gravity
S- Speech, has the speech gone slurred/absent
T- Time, call 999 act FAST

best campaign and easy to remember.

Also NEVER give aspirin. some may think it thins the blood therefore increasing blood supply, but this is only useful in a blockage type stroke. If you have haemorraghic stroke and give aspirin you essentially make them bleed quicker making the pressure on the brain even more. As you NEVER know what type of stroke someone is having unless you scan them, just call 999 ASAP.

best of luck to your wife!

This also happened to one of the ladies at my place of work & it can strike you down at any age. She was early 50's

She's recovered enough to return to work

Wishing your wife a speedy recovery
