Sorry you had a medical issue, too! It is scary!

Did you realize right away you were having a serious issue?

I honestly debated two hours before I went to the hospital. My legs weren't working right. I thought with a stroke or TIA only one side was affected. My face wasn't droopy. My knees were swollen but not red or warm to the touch. I wondered if I had sprained my knees badly doing laundry. I didn't know what was going on.

A friend called me at 10:00am and I couldn't speak sensibly on the phone. She said my speech sounded like I was doing major drugs! My voice was dusky and badly slurred. That's when I knew, for sure, that I was having an emergency.
Thank goodness she called me.

They did not restrict my driving...I was waiting for them to...but they did not.

I don't drive a lot. Just to our local store, lab and back..4 min. away. Walmart and Aldi's are a little farther. I think I will use the store's motorized scooter for a while, if I can. I found out I tire easily.

T is thirty minutes away when traffic runs smoothly. I have missed two appointments with her. We talk on the phone, instead. I really miss the safety of her presence. Next appointment is Saturday afternoon. I want to try to go.

Btw, you guys, I apologize if I repeat myself because my memory is a little bit affected, still.
