Thank you to the readers who took the Haiku challenge! You did a superb job writing your Haiku and it was fun.

Signs of Stroke

F A S T

The word to remember when concerned about a stroke is FAST because time is crucial in reaching and instituting care. FAST will also help you to look for the signs of stroke.

Is the Face drooping?

Is there Arm weakness?

Is there difficulty with Speech?

If yes, to any of these questions it is Time to call 911

Memorize it. Test yourself. Spread the word to others.
