Tonight she was standing behind my couch talking to me. She all of a sudden got real quite and kept looking down at the couch and didn't really seem to know where she was. She started saying really strange things and her words were all jumbled. She seemed very weak and couldn't walk very well or sit. I have never seen her like this. Could she have had a stroke or is this part of the Alz. I didn't see any drooping in her face or anything like that.
Good luck,
Carol
I agree with the TIA idea, but also agree you should get her to a doctor immediately. If it is a stroke, the longer you wait, the more you could compromise her recovery. I'd call the doc before I gave her an aspirin, in some people that might be a problem.
Please get your sis to the doc or ER immediately!
Neurologists can MRI her or perhaps just a Scan to be sure. Ischemic strokes can cause the pt talking in jibberish or what sounds like a foreign language. On the outside, everything may appear normal. GET THEE TO THE DOCTOR.
It's got to be coming from somewhere. I'd watch her on the potty, wipe with H2O2, and change those paper panties frequently in the daytime, and use the Overnight paper panties when she goes to bed....Kroger Overnights $9.99 per package.
As an aside people who suffer from so called classical migraine can exhibit all the signs and symptoms of a stroke and should be treated just as seriously.
