sided hemiparesis, and mild dysphagia. Her husband states that when she awoke that morning at 0600, she stayed in bed, complaining of a mild headache over the right temple and feeling slightly weak. He went and got coffee, then thinking it was unusual for her to have those complaints, went back to check on her.
