Yesterday was quite a day. My brother and I were at lunch when we learned that my aunty (who is only 36, thin, and ridiculously healthy) had had a massive stroke. I went with my dad down to Pottsville (northern NSW) to pick up my grandmother who was almost inconsolable. Amazingly we did 350km in a little over 2 hours :o

I haven't heard any news on her condition today, but when I saw her yesterday (which was the most distressing image I've ever seen) she could only open her eyes. Her legs and arms would sometimes move but probably only due to muscle spasms. She was given this injection that can clear all the arteries, clots, etc, but the side-effect is that it can cause another stroke and kill her. When we left the hospital last night she was in the intensive care unit, and I really hope she made it through the night.
