Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L 411 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hi everyone I was in the ER for about 7 hours yesterday with my brother with severe dizziness and after lots of test was admitted to the hospital at about 9:00 last night. The last test yesterday they conducted was an MRI and it showed I apparently had a mini stoke. I am having a lot more test today and seeing lots of folks. I have been visited so far by my nurse, the main doctor, OT, PT, and a speech swollow specialist. More to come all day long and maybe tomorrow. Would appreciate any prayers or good thoughts you might send on my behalf. Scout 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forty Rod SASS 3935 8,405 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Scout, that's a lousy way to get to socializing. ER folks are too busy to make small talk. Add my prayers along side the others and get well soon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L 411 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 I am HOME!!!! Cleaned up after being in the hospital for 3 days. I had a TIA (mini-stroke) that affected my cerebellum which controls the equilibrium thus my crazy dizziness. Tuesday is now the scariest thing I have ever experienced and never want to again. In addition to the blood pressure medicine I am already taking they have added one aspirin a day and Lipitor for my Hi LDL cholestrol. Apparently all the MANY tests came back good except for the blood pressure and cholesterol. Looks like I need to work on my diet plus add exercising (which I don't currently do). Will try and get in to see my Primary Care Physician tomorrow to discuss how I should move forward from this episode and what restrictions on work and other things he recommends for now. The Physician Discharge Instructions are "Activity as Tolerated". For now I just need to move slow with no sudden head movements. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts on my behalf. I really appreciate them. 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
