T.I.A. {Transient Ischemic Attack}

I do not know if this has been in the Forum before, but thought it may be of interest as age creeps up, although this can happen to anyone at any age.. 

Yesterday my youngest son called in with our shopping and we were having a talk and cup of coffee, when I asked him something and couldn't get the words out, they were all jumbled up, I knew what I wanted to say but just could not say them. I thought it was only a few seconds but my son said it lasted about ten minutes, then all back to normal. He rang the Doc and I went to the surgery for a check, After a check up and History have now to have CT scans, ultrasound etc. Feel great today even if not with usual energy.

GD don't worry the GM is yours, all in the will.

Had an interesting afternoon at the Parliament House watching the session, crazy seeing the arguments over Fiona Stanley Hospital, Serco about poor sterilisation and about Blackout Spots in the Mobile Phone system. So much money spent and having to apply band aids  at great cost now. Very interesting.

Thanks for the very informative response that helps to clarify the issue

Hiya Seth.

No more T.I.A's and yes Pradaxa does it's job well and isn't it just SO easy to take with no tests.

My kidneys are fine also.

------------------

How is Dorothy doing at home. I feel sure she is doing so well being home and with you matey.

Are you still coping o.k. (would never tell anyone in power, if I wasn't if it was me Seth) would just hire help but hey with your fantastic family know help is there.

God bless you as you have both been through the mill.

hugs.

Yes Phyl life is good, no mor TIAs and happy with pradaxa, I take now 150ml at night, and 110ml of a day. since that little episode.

They now have the means to stop bleeding, I wrote it down but can't find it.    So glad you are getting on top of all your worries and keeping well.   

I have someone come 7pm every night to help put Dorrie into bed, she is very nice and gentle. Dorrie seems to be losing her strength and unable to stand on her own, we just share time together as long as we can, I understand as time goes by we may have to both go into care for her sake, but together.My family have been exceptional in their help and planning, they have a roster arranged between them. Seth.

That dose should keep your veins clean as whistles Seth lol.

------------------------

That must be a relief having help getting Dorothy into bed each eve. Seth, as that was a worry.

You never know she may regain some strength and again be able to stand, but whatever, she has you and you her and love is the most amazing thing as you both know.

You have many services you can receive as I am sure you know, so not to many worries staying put is there.

What a relief for you both, together again and enjoying every precious moment

hug. 

Phyl Dorothy is now under 'Monash Transisional home care care' they have been wonderful, it is worthwhile keeping in mind that you have a choice of Transitional care, either in a hospital {aged care} or Transitional Home Care, of which we had no knowledge of and never mentioned to us. You learn as you go.

Absolutely great news Seth. Thank God all turned out so well for you both at this time, and if things change you are ready.

Knowledge is great but moreso knowing where to get the help required.

Seth thank you for sharing, your experience and the knowledge you have gained may help someone on here. I am very pleased that Dorothy is back with you, the world must seem a much less darker place for her now, thank goodness.

Thanks Phyl for all your help, I know it must have been hard for you with the dragon eating you out of house and home.

Yes Viv.. although it is no picnic, we both are much happier just being together.

It has to be tiring at times Seth but better you live together in a cardboardbox on a street corner than have Dorothy away by herself in the dark.

I am sure they will never take her away from home without you.

Does Dorothy still enjoy her music? I hope she has something lovly and soft to hold (besides you) of course

Maybe you have an animal or if not, a big fluffy dog or teddy to just have. 

 

hugs.
