Three steps forward and two back?

Hi everyone, I had a dizzy/weak spell on Tuesday and went to the hospital to get checked out; I jus got home this evening after much poking, imaging, and other diagnostic tests negative for stroke, but still very unbalanced and deemed unable to walk without assistive devices. A physical therapist will come to my home next week to advise me on therapy. Up until Tuesday I had been making great progress in getting myself out of couch potato mode! I will probably start a conversation on a different hub of HU maybe about stroke support, because I am suspecting I might have had a mini stroke.

Oh my word, Luvmycats, how worrying for you. Let's be positive and hope it was just a bad reaction to the extreme heat we've been experiencing. I really do hope that you feel more like yourself very soon - take care!

Thanks for all your good wishes. Physical therapist has noted unequal leg length; probably stemming from hip replacement 2 years ago. I can't believe I never noticed until serious spinal implication, but thankful for answers.

What a relief to have a diagnosis! Here's hoping that physio will sort you out and you'll be back to your old self really soon! All best wishes!
