Today, my husband and I threw a party with non-alcoholic wine. No one acted wasted, until in the last hour my grandmother started slurring her words and slumping. We thought she was joking, until a doctor at the party confirmed she was having a stroke. FML

Aggressive tells us more.

Hello everyone. She's doing very well now! The doctors at the hospital told us it was only a minor stroke luckily. We were extremely lucky to have a doctor at the house indeed. And sorry to hear about your loss #70.:(

Non alcoholic wine for everyone? I would have spiked mine!

you realise a drink spike isnt made to be more alcoholic, its to basically incompacitate a victim of someone who wants that person to pass out, and pretty much 'have their way' with them.

You do realise that people spike there own drinks all the time, with things more low grade that won't knock you out, just give you one hell of a night.

@ #77: No, that would be a date rape drug. "Spiking" a drink means adding alcohol. Not drugging it.

Um... #77, have u heard of spiked eggnog or spiked punch?? Spiking something is just adding alcohol. Being drugged is what u r talking about.

You suck for throwing a party with out any booze

she threw it with fake booze to see of anyone would act drunk. In my oppinion, its pretty hilarious.

if you need alcohol to have a good time at a party, then you have a serious problem

Omg that's terrible! I hope she's ok though!

Wonder what will happen if there were really alcoholic drinks at the party...

Well, Granny probably wouldn't have died from boredom, for one thing...

Well, Granny wouldnt have died from boredom, for one thing!

Come to think of it, the stroke might have been avoided...

People need to recognize the signs of a stroke. That time spent "thinking she was joking" may have led to preventable, and now irreversible, brain damage. YDI

Not sure why this is thumbed down - you're right

Hi Luunatic I upvote your comment as a sign of sympathy. I'm very sorry for your lost.

Sorry you got thumbed down #72! TIA is also known as a "mini-stroke"!

And it would be a good idea to monitor her closely now as "mini-strokes" can lead to a full on stroke. Wish you all the best and hope for the best for your grandmother.

You have my prayers and beat wishes for you and your family. Lucky indeed to have had a DR. there

To be honest, I don't know that much about mini strokes. My mom had one 4 years ago and she made a full recovery. She had barely been able to move her left hand it was curling up like a claw. But there was something to help, thankfully cheap. Know those things to keep your toes separate while you paint them? Yeah just stick that on her. My mom said she felt a strange pain then could suddenly move her hand again after a week or so :) hope your grandma recovers to full health

That's actually a great idea. My mum had a stroke 6 yrs ago and we struggle with her left arm. We'll give that a try.
