I had a stroke bck in 2014. Have talked about mine before. and was getting symptoms. Depends on size of clot, what part of the brain, and how fast it is noticed and treated. Had very, very high bp bit thought I was ok. Was at a party and people were asking me if I was ok. An old girlfriend called me (hadn't seen her for about 3 years. Talked to me for 3 hours and convinced me to go to the hospital. Took a day, but I finally did. The next morning they were scanning my brain and I hear "CODE STROKE" over the hospital PA. Asked the orderly what was that and he said " It's for you". Puked and the next clear memory I had was 3 days later. Basically I had a str\oke at the best place to have one- while they were scanning my brain. Never had speech problems, but had some memory problems. Couldn't remember some names and had to search for words. Physically had to use a walker for a few months and then a cane for about 6 and didn't drive for a year. Also ended up with very. very slight weakness on my left side (harder to pick up heavier items with that side.
But within a year, you couldn't tell that I had one.
