Still here!!!

On 8-11 @ 11:16 am tingling started at my fingertips and went to my elbows....my hands then worked but not easily. Next I felt like my mouth was full of mashed potatoes. Called 911...they had an ambulance here within 7 minutes. EMS diagnosed me with TIA. Loaded me up and headed to the hospital. I was back to normal before arriving at said hospital. Got admitted and they ran every test they needed.
Had 3 different Dr.s give their assessments. 1...TIA...2...stroke...3...heart attack. On 8-12 was told I had 70% blockage in LAD artery and had stent that afternoon. On 8-13 vascular Dr. scheduled carotid surgery for 8-15...80% blockage. Finally came home 8-17...all fixed. Now just need to heal up.

Wow! I’m glad that you didn’t wait much longer before seeking help.
Just wondering if you had noticed anything earlier or something similar before that?
With your blockage cleared you are probably feeling better than you have in very long time.
Hopefully things will work out for you.
