I suffered a 2nd stroke on the 16th Jun, but were unable to get help until the following afternoon due to the really bad thunderstorms that we were having as our phone signals were playing up
I was taken upto A&E, but was told by the doctor that I was going home & had an infection all because I had a raised temperature, but when they took it later on it was normal & the same when we took it the next am, also despite me being unable to do all that he asked for the stroke checks
We rung our doctors on the Thurs & got a callback, after a chat was asked to go in for a checkup to where it was confirmed what 111,the ambulance crew & A&E nurses thought who were trying to get me a bed on the Stroke Ward, but they were overruled
It has affected my rightside yet again, but abit worse than last time & my speech can play up when it wants to. Right now I'm having to stay in bed alot as I'm really unsteady on my feet
Thanks, I am & it ain't very much right now especially with my leg, my arm & hand ain't so bad, but I've noticed the difference from before the 2nd stroke. What my husband & I are worried about is that the clot is still up there
Yes, that's the 1 I was put on last Dec after my 2nd minor stroke, have now been put on a Statin as well which I should have been on after my stroke in Jan
