Ew Esse Em Elle Ee Today*

*Update. My (2nd) ex just texted me: Bell's Palsy it is. 


That Ana and I were studying that as she got the text is Twilight Zone  stuff. Never had anything like this happen before in my life.


10:02 am:


Abort mission. This is uncanny. Our first, and last, Q today:


In the middle of thinking about it Dr. Ana got this text from my (second) ex-wife:


Heh we are in the ER at Mt Sinai.  [2nd ex' sig. oth.] awoke with droopy eye and left side of face slightly paralyzed and [sig. oth.'s son the doctor] told us to go immediately to ER in case of mini stroke. We just got here. [doc son] is talking to ER doc now. I’ll keep you posted. XO


Amazing. Ana started reading the fact pattern before I did and immediately said "stroke". When I read, I told her to notice that the pt took herself to er, either walked or drove. which one would not do with a real stroke, and presented with "stroke-LIKE symptoms", cluing us that it may NOT be a stroke. Luckily for the sig. oth., and our question pt, if it is Bell's Palsy it resolves in 3-4 mos unlike a real hemorrhagic stroke. Gobsmacked. Ana is on her way to the hospital ER.
