Spent all night at the emergency room.

My wife was having symptoms of a possible oncoming stroke. As this was happening a few months after she experienced a TIA (a "mini-stroke") we rushed to the ER, and got there a little before 8 PM.

It was the craziest, busiest, I have ever seen that place!

After an EKG, a Cat Scan, an MRI, and blood tests everything looked OK. She will wear a monitor for while to keep track of her heart beat and has scheduled an appointment with a neurologist.

We got back home a little before 7 AM!

So glad to hear that her tests came out okay, and I have no trouble imagining how scary it must have been for both of you. I realize the worry about why she had those symptoms isn't over yet. 😕

My dad had several TIA's over the years, after part of his heart died when he was 58. Every time, he'd say to the paramedics and or emergency doctors..."I think my daughter is overreacting".
