Saving Grandma
U/DargoSun92: “I asked my mother if we might accompany my grandmother to lunch when I was around ten or eleven. I insisted that I wanted to visit my grandmother and that she would want to go to lunch that day, even though she was kind of against it. My grandma and I were out at the mall after lunch when she began to slur her speech and got very confused.
She had suffered a stroke. Fortunately, my mother saw what was wrong and took her to the hospital in about twenty or thirty minutes. The stroke was stopped, according to the doctors, and she recovered essentially back to her pre-attack state. My mother informed me a few days later that I had essentially spared my grandmother’s life by making sure we had lunch together that day.”
