At the age of 26, Georgia Leventis-Molina could not believe she had a stroke and would need open heart surgery. She led a busy, active life in Kalamazoo – attending classes, newly married, being a mom to her 10-year-old stepson and logging 13,000 steps a day as a server in the hospitality industry. She had been a vegetarian since the sixth grade, and loved to snowboard, golf and walk dogs – and had never needed to go to the hospital before. It began when she hurt her back at work: the intense pain sent her to the emergency room, and they kept sending her home because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. One day she woke up and couldn’t see straight – and couldn’t walk up the stairs. Her husband knew something was terribly wrong and rushed her to the emergency room.

I had a stroke with atypical signs. Spasms in arm and leg that became more frequent within 3 hours. I didn’t have any other stroke symptoms until 7.5 hours into the stroke.

What at the hospital? Is a baby aspirin first aid for an ischemic stroke?
