Now, Branson is ‘feeling fine’
While reporting the Grammy awards, reports initially said Branson was put in the hospital for stroke. A statement was released by CBS 2 news though that said:
“Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home, and she says that she is feeling fine this morning.”
Slurred speech for some other reasons
The rumor of Branson getting hospitalized because she possible had a stroke at the Grammys traveled fast. The slurred speech she displayed was what had caused this rumor to spread. Slurred speech is one of probably the most common indicators of a stroke. Other things can be happening with slurred speech. It does not have to be a stroke. Distorted speech, or dysathria, can be brought on by a brain injury, a tumor, a facial weakness, medications or even facial paralysis.
