Anyway, well done Vicky!

Since he has no family in Texas and he clearly was away from his friends while in the session, he can say whatever he wants. There's nobody there to call him on anything. He can say he had in in the grocery store, at the bus stop, in line at McDonalds, taking a dump in a public restroom, while jogging, while getting a haircut, walking across the parking lot at Home Depot, anything, and that a kind stranger that he can't really remember and didn't leave behind any identifying information helped him get to the hospital. Such a loss of short-term memory for events immediately around the time of the stroke is
not uncommon. It is, after all, a severe closed head brain injury, more damaging and life-threatening than a concussion and nobody would find some short-term memory loss unusual in a concussion. The severity of the injury is often overlooked because there's no violent blows or pain usually associated with the onset of a stroke.
