KFGO's Sandy Back On Air 5 Days After 2 Strokes

Five days after suffering two mini-strokes, 790 AM KFGO (Fargo, ND) radio personality Sandy Buttweiler was back on the air Tuesday, according to a story by John Lamb at inforum.com.

Buttweiler, who hosts the popular “Jack & Sandy Show” with Jack Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, said she felt good, though a little tired after the ordeal.

Buttweiler suffered the first transient ischemic attack at 7:45 a.m. Thursday. She later suffered a second stroke in the emergency room at Sanford Medical Center.

The second attack left her temporarily paralyzed on the right side and unable to speak.

“I was just very afraid,” she said Wednesday morning, adding that she didn’t know if she would ever speak or work again or even live much longer.

After 10 minutes, the effects subsided and she regained her speech and ability to move. She said extensive tests revealed no permanent damage.

Already dealing with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, Buttweiler said her medications have been altered. She’s also been getting more rest and hasn’t smoked in six days.
