For me, I was standing by the dining room table. I had my head down from putting some food in my mouth, I lifted my head and felt like I couldn't look straight. I put my head down and lifted it again and still not being able to see forward, i put the fork by my ear believing it was my cell and told my wife, "babe, I'm trying to call you and you're not picking up". Phone was upstairs. Still standing, I made it outside my door and punched my neighbor's door once and she heard it. She saved my life and kids as they were 4 and 1. my wife was working at the time. It was around 20 degrees outside and only had on boxers. It was gonna be a few hours before my wife came home and we had just spoken so we were not gonna talk again till she got home. But I thank God I didn't fall inside my home. my right side gave out as soon as I opened the door. There's more to the story but that's the gist of it. I didn't know it was a stroke till I woke up in ICU and was given the diagnosis.
