What does a person feel the day before he or she gets a stroke?

My mom recently suffered a stoke. She felt 100% fine and was getting ready to eat the dinner she just prepared.
All of a sudden she felt "woozey" and had to sit down. She then noticed that she had lost the vision in her left eye. Her vision is permanently impaired, but other wise she is doing well..

Some people suffer from TIA's a few times before a stroke.
A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce your risk of a major stroke.

Take care! Hypertension and high cholesterol are risk factors.

Most strokes aren't preceded by TIAs. However, of the people who've had one or more TIAs, more than a third will later have a stroke. In fact, a person who's had one or more TIAs is more likely to have a stroke than someone of the same age and who hasn't.

TIAs are important in predicting if a stroke will occur rather than when one will happen. They can occur days, weeks or even months before a major stroke. In about half the cases, the stroke occurs within one year of the TIA.
Common symptoms of TIA are:
# Weakness on one side of your body or an inability to move a part or all of one side of your body, such as your face, arm, and leg.
# Numbness, tingling, or a feeling of heaviness on one side of your body.
# Trouble seeing, such as blurring or double vision, dimness, or a sensation that a shade has been pulled down over the eyes.
# Trouble speaking or finding words.
# Trouble understanding words.
# Vertigo, unsteadiness, dizziness, clumsiness, staggering, or fainting. You may have trouble walking.
