Tuesday/Wednesday

Tuesday was turning out to be a good day. I had vowed

on Monday not to do work the next day. Rich even

made Monday's dinner.

At about 2 PM on Tuesday..I made iced tea, grabbed my current read

and went to the deck to do some reading. I reached to get my book

off the patio table after I'd gotten situtuated. My hand looked

a mile away. Things got a weird aura around them. I spoke out loud

to myself trying to figure what was going on.

I can't believe the gibberish I heard myself speaking. I was aware I was

thinking right, but not saying real words..and couldn't make a sentence.

I came in the house and hit the caller ID on our phone to get Rich.

He said ..if there was no caller ID on his cell he would never known

who it was . He kept asking me what was going on..I tried to respond

but the gibberish kept coming. He finally said to me he was calling

the ambulance. He was towns away.

I then called Nicole, my oldest daughter ..she YELLED at me. Thought I

was fooling around. I couldn't talk righ but finally told her Rich

called 911. She came right over, stayed with me until ambulance , fire and police

arrived.

Long story short here , I was in the ER Triage from 3 PM to 1 AM

did blood tests, MRI and decide it was a T I A, mini stroke ..that comes, goes, and

heals itself.

So for now..a baby aspirin to thin my blood a bit,(doc says cancer and treatment can thicken your blood) & anti seizure med every day,

see a neurologist..my neosurgeon and my primary care doctor and my oncologist.

If anything like this happens again, I must get to the ER

stat.

Oh what a night!

Slept in today then my BFF brought lunch and I went to bed about 3 hours and

Rich came home. My head doesn't even hurt today.. Thank you God.
