My son in law's mom had a stroke today can't talk or move much, please pray she makes a full recovery, her name is Cindy and she is 55.

[Scott Downey]

She has been under a lot of stress.
She is a long term dedicated church worker-helper her whole life.
She does not smoke or drink.
Her mother in Law died a few weeks after a stroke, and she had been taking care of her for years.
The funeral is this Saturday.
Her husband died of colon cancer after a long illness.
She has good family support, including extended family.
My daughter and son in law are with her now, and we have 3 of the grandchildren with us.
This was so unexpected.

She is in Riverside Hospital in Newport News VA.

I prayed for a full recovery, or acceptance
Very sad and so real when it hits home like this

Lord give all involved the strength to get through this as always, In Jesus Name.

Praying for a total recovery. My grandmother had a major stroke and the doctor said she wouldn't ever walk again and her speech will be impaired. So we got another opinion from the Master Physician, (God)! 6 months later she was walking and talking as usual.

 

[Scott Downey]

I hope so. She has a 2.5 inch clot in her neck. She actually drove to work slightly affected. And her coworkers knew something was wrong when she could not speak.

@Scott Downey how is Cindy, and her immediate family doing? I know its only been a day, but any news?

Still praying for her, just wanted to ask.

She recognizes people, she wanted to see her 5 grandchildren, so my wife brought by the 3 and 2 year old. The other 3 are 12, 10, 8, and they are going to see her today in the hospital.

She is also able to swipe a phone and look at pictures.
Still no talking or able to move much.]
The 3 year old says she can look at you, not much else.

That's wonderful she has such a loving family around her at this time, from what you posted about her, she seems like such a good woman, who is a sister in Christ, I sure pray she is fully restored.

Keep us updated on any progress.

Are they seeking to attempt a removal of the clot, do you know? Or no, that is not at all on the table (as far as the doctors considerations might go)?

The thrombectomy was deemed to risky
So she is on some kinds of drugs.

 

[Scott Downey]

When you think about arteries, they get smaller as they branch down to capillary sizes.
So if a clot falls apart, breaks up, it could spread more chaos in other body parts.
She had flown in from Florida after helping her sister move.
I have heard that can be a risk if you are immobile for while.

Unexpected stuff happens and it can change your life forever.
Or for a while.

I had a very strange pain in my leg muscle years ago, and at the time I thought, maybe is a clot.
It completely went away on it's own.
Nothing I did made it any better.

I always ask the Lord Jesus, God, to help me in everything I am doing.
To also give me ideas for various projects I work on, and HE does!

You know Scott Downey, thats the one thing I dont understand, immobility on a flight of a few hours, because I sit longer than that everyday.

That might eventually catch up with me, but I never understood the reason for it as far as blaming a single flight in those instances.

Asked Copilot AI, can sitting on a plane from Florida to Norfolk cause a leg clot?

Yes, sitting on a plane from Florida to Norfolk can increase your risk of developing a leg blood clot—specifically a deep vein thrombosis (DVT)—but the overall risk is low unless you have other contributing factors.
Why air travel can raise clot risk:

• Immobility: Sitting still for long periods slows blood flow in the legs, especially in cramped spaces.
• Vein compression: Bent knees and limited legroom can kink veins, making clots more likely.
• Cabin pressure: Lower oxygen levels in the cabin may contribute to clot formation.

Risk factors that amplify clot risk:

• Age over 40
• Obesity
• Recent surgery or injury
• Pregnancy or recent childbirth
• Use of estrogen-based medications (e.g., birth control, hormone therapy)
• History of blood clots or clotting disorders
• Varicose veins, cancer, or chronic conditions like heart or lung disease

️ Preventive tips for flights over 4 hours:

• Move your legs frequently—walk the aisle or do seated calf raises.
• Stay hydrated; avoid alcohol and caffeine.
• Wear compression stockings if recommended by your doctor.
• Consider blood thinners if you're at high risk (only under medical guidance).

A flight from Florida to Norfolk is typically under 2 hours, so for most healthy individuals, the risk is minimal. But if you have any of the above risk factors, it's smart to take precautions—even on shorter flights.
Would you like a checklist of in-flight leg exercises or tips tailored to your travel plans?

Makes sense that it shows that there are other contributing factors, when typically all you ever hear is "long flight" or "sitting to long" most of the time.

She thumb wrestled the grandkids using her left hand and played uno with them. Please keep praying. her right side she can not move, and still can not talk.

I have been forced into a few very tight plane seats, the Embraer jet had the best seating of our trip out to Oregon to visit our daughter in 2019. The seats were somehow made very thin but very comfy and we had room so we were not smashed into seats like the United flight.
I am 6' 4" tall. I need more space.

Your the same height as my husband, he complains about the same thing.

I wont click on links myself @Scott Downey, but I am familar that there is a common association between the two

PT had her on her feet sort of carrying sort of walking yesterday.
She is getting some movement on her right side now.

If she just had a stroke, she can do Acupuncture and regain her mobility! By the time we knew about this, it was too late to do this for my dad Good luck and God bless!
