Spent the weekend in the hospital

[DynaBro]

Yeah that was fun. Wednesday I started having numbness in my left arm and figured I just slept on it wrong and it would go away. It didn’t and found myself in the emergency room Saturday morning. I give them credit they had me in fast and hooked up to all the gadgets. Had a cat scan, MRI, and multiple ultrasounds.

Doctor said it was a TIV, Transient Ischemic Attack.or mini stroke. They found one vein in my neck with about 30% blockage. They figure if it is there, there will also be blockage in other areas. The ticker tested good thank god. Now I have a meeting with the vascular surgeon to get this addressed. And now the bills start…

Take care of yourself everyone!

I’ve had several. And now frequently have what they call a silent migraine. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Been researching this for about a decade. At the very least I know the telltale signs between serious and ignorable.

I had a brain aneurysm and then while being cared for had 2 strokes, but I'm still here. anything is possible these days, take care of yourself first

Did you attempt to read anything during the episode? That's when it gets really scary.

They sprung me yesterday. Pretty much spent the rest of the day in the recliner. We will see what kind of puttering I can do today.
