[lace-chat] Recognizing a Stroke (CVA)
During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. It only takes a minute to read this- Recognizing a Stroke - A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed an getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the 3 steps. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: 1. *Ask the individual to SMILE. 2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: ideal knitting bag
Hi Jean Your knitting bag sounds as if it would be ideal for my mother as she is always loosing her ball of wool. It would be nice to make her one for Christmas so I would be grateful if you could send me a diagram. Happy Lacemaking Sue (in cold, but snow free Southampton ) - Original Message - From: Jean Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace-chat@arachne.com Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2005 8:28 PM Subject: [lace-chat] Re: ideal knitting bag My knitting bag was made for me by a friend of my mother's back in the 1950s. I don't do a lot of knitting (probably why it's lasted so well) but have been using it recently so got round to taking some measurements. It's a sort of combined bag and apron, and it's not that easy to explain what to do so if anyone wants a diagram please contact me privately. Take a length of fabric approx 17 by 35 and at one end fold over first 0.25, then 3 and stitch 2 seams across (one about 2.5, the other about 3 from fold) to make a channel for a drawstring. Measure along about 21, fold over and stitch 2 more seams (again about 2.5 and 3 from fold) to make a channel for a drawstring. Fold so that the two channels are opposite each other and stitch side seams (do not stitch over channel openings). You will be left with an end of fabric about 5 long - gather this into a waistband and attach apron ties. Make fabric drawstrings (or use cord) and insert through channel - best to use two so you can pull up from both sides. Put knitting in bag, fold apron part over, pull drawstrings tight and off you go. When you're ready to knit, open bag, tie apron strings round waist, take out knitting - the yarn stays in the bag so doesn't roll around the floor. My current project is a lacy shawl with 1-ply cobweb wool which I could finish by the end of the month if I had nothing else to do!
