Sometimes it feels like the trials never stop. Wednesday evening I was sitting reading a magazine when I felt a little weird and my left arm was weak. When I stood up my left leg also felt weak. Jack took me to the ER to get checked out. The weakness had gone away but they ran me through stroke checks. Blood work, CT scan, heart monitoring. My blood pressure was sky high which was different for me who never had high blood pressure. They kept me for 2 days doing MRI, heart scan, ultra sounds looking for clots. Very thorough. Everything came back normal except for a small hole between heart chambers that could have allowed a small clot to go through. My body took care of it so no damage. So managing BP symptoms and other things like cholesterol is now going to happen. Im grateful for Jack pushing me to get checked quick and for good care from the nurses and doctors. Feeling blessed and hopefully this won't happen again. 🙏 When it comes to strokes, getting treatment ASAP is essential for a good outcome. Mine was a TIA that could have turned into a full blown stroke if I had ignored my symptoms. Im now hoping for a quiet, healthy May!
