Please read before watching. Thanks.
First of all, I'm so glad Rob is OK. I love seeing him at cons. Not sure if it's appropriate to call a grown man adorable, but he just is. And OMG, he's so funny. Makes the cons so much better. He's a great actor and an awesome singer and such a nice guy. And I'm just glad he's fine now.
In case you didn't know, Rob had a stroke at the end of TorCon last year. If I remember correctly, it happened at the end of autographs. Rob suddenly couldn't speak anymore but didn't know why. Richard took him to the hospital and that's where they found out Rob had a stroke and where they saved his life.
At the con Richard told us about the FAST rule, a way to recognize a stroke.
Face - Does your face look uneven? (Can you smile?)
Arms - Raise both arms in front of you. Does one drift down?
Speech - Say something. Does it sound strange?
Time - You have a very limited time frame to save your life. So if you even suspect you had a stoke (you might not have all of these symptoms), go to the hospital or call 911 (or the equivalent). Better safe then sorry.
I've actually known about this rule for a while. Sometimes I have these really bad headaches and half of my face feels numb, so I've done the FAS part of the rule quite a few times in my life. Luckily, didn't have to get to the T.
And now, about this video. Just like my St. Jude and Jensen's cake videos, I'm only uploading this because I think it's something members of SPN family who couldn't attend the con should see.
The camera wasn't manned, per se, most of the time. (I mean, I was holding it, but that's about it.) I did adjust it once or twice, but that's why you don't always see everything. Sorry.
OK, now go watch the video and remember the FAST rule.
