The hospital called a “stroke alert,” she said, and before she knew it they were asking basic questions such as her name, address, name of the president. She answered all the questions correctly.

Franklin Wendt, an APRN who assisted in Moye-Johnson’s treatment, said there are two types of stroke: a dissection, or weakening of one of the blood vessels that provides blood to the brain and a bleeding stroke in which a blockage blocks blood supply to the brain.
“Time is extremely important,” he said of those having a stroke.
Wendt said people should watch out for a headache that’s new or different and doesn’t go away with the typical over-the-counter meds.
Other symptoms to watch out for are limb weakness, difficulty speaking, or changes in sensation on one side of the body.

Part of her time at Gaylord was spent at their Taurig House, a transitional living program for patients making good progress, but who aren’t ready to go home yet.
