You all take care of yourselves

Wow! What a great bunch of people! Never realized just how many these threads get to. Thanks all for the reply's. I'll get better. Just got to get over the freeky part, of not knowing what the heck was taking place, and having no control over it. Will be taking baby aspirins daily, and taking it easy for a few days till I get to feeling normal. Then back to being a Rocket pilot, though a bit more cautious.

That's bad news Cooter but fortunate also you were in a position to get help...some folk arnt..
We live life how it pleases us mostly and probably when we are young we didnt bother too much if it was healthy or not...as long as it was fun right?
So we gotta take what is served. We all are rooting for you brother and wishing you the best. The medical folk these days are awesome...youre in good hands...good luck and be strong.Cheers Tal.
 
I had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) a few years ago. I was on the computer when I went blind in my right eye then the left eye darkened. I went in the bedroom and told my wife," I think I'm having a stroke". She replied "fack off, I have to get up for work tomorrow" and pulled the blanket over her head. Fortunately I had an old phone with an actual dialpad and was able to feel for the numbers and was relieved to hear the 911 operator. Lucky for me the specialist said the Emerg doctor knew what he was doing and I ended up with virtually no lasting damage other than realising that my marriage was in a bit of trouble :eek:.
I hope you have a similar outcome to me.........without the sociopathic wife bit.

Yeah, but that is Amaurosis Fugax. Transient loss of vison in one eye. This guy was paralyzed on one whole side. The artery affected is larger and the probable source of emboli is different. You probably have an arrhythmia and....we don't know what he's got. The medicine is different for each case. Your luck is that the doctor knew what he was doing and you got the correct therapy.

Cooter, stay connected and let's make sure you are getting the right stuff.

Hi all, I'll be 70 years old this September. Lived a hard life, all self induced. Just had a TIA, (minor stroke) Friday, and just got out of hospital yesterday evening. Scared the chit out of me. Right side of body dead, couldn't speak, drooling out the side of my mouth, etc. etc. I'm feeling better today, but sure am glad I wasn't on one of my Rockets when it happened. I would have crashed for sure. No notice, happened like flipping a switch. Just wish I had taken better care of myself, in earlier years, but it's too late now, to go back. You young-ens enjoy life to the fullest, cause gettin old ain't for sissy's. I think it's time to thin out my 6 motorcycle collection.;)
Hope you make a quick and pain free recovery cootertwo all the best pal.
