Man, I've been scared before, but that was to much, to fast!! It was a clot that moved through the artery that runs up the spine into the base of the brain. I was told I was lucky to get to St. Johns when I did(spent 3 days in ICU). I'm not sure what they did to help, but I walked away with very little damage, and smoke free. I don't plan on going back!!
Man, sure am glad you recognized something was not right and got to the hospital quickly! Whew.
