Welcome paulc...... I have had mini strokes at night, so I’m told by medical experts....., and I have numerous other medical problems too!
Hoping you make a good recovery, back to full health, as much as is possible😀
Talk about whatever you want. It's a free country and I'm glad to hear you are on the mend.
Hello Paul, Such a shock experiencing a stroke of any kind. Good news that your symptoms will improve. Keep fit and well by following medical advice.
My best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Xx
Wishing you all the best , and hope you continue to improve. Take care.
Welcome paulc1011, it is great news you are making such a good recovery and I bet your glad to be back in your own home. Good luck with the rest of your recovery. 👍🌈
Hi Jerry. I live alone also and due to COVID my life now consists of just shopping. Food mainly. I do keep my Dr. appointments also. It’s starting to really get depressing due to the fact that there doesn’t seem to be an end to it. I’m concerned things will never be the same as they were for at least another year or so. That’s a long time to put life on hold as an older person. How do you cope with the life change?
Hi paul. I'm glad to hear that you're home and the frightening experience is now behind you. You can rest easy now that you're home and take care. All the best. x
you are in my prayers!
Take care
Paul, a few yrs ago I suffered what I thought was a TMI, mini-stroke. When I called cardiologist office was told to come right in. Once there, I couldn't sign in and right side of mouth was drooping. Cardio told me I'd had a full blown stroke!! Shocked beyond belief, I'd driven the 10 miles to office and then 10 miles home again. A month later had a carotid artery surgery.
I made a wonderful recovery and hope you will too!
When I found this on the 'net, I copied it and posted it inside a kit. cabinet for quick reference. Hoping it may help others be aware of signs: FAST: F--face droops; A: arm drifts down when attempt to raise; S: speech slurred; T: Time--act fast make emergency call
I'd spilled a mug of hot tea and just thought I was clumsy; next morning, arm was weak and speech was slurred which prompted call to cardio. My dad had several mini-strokes before a major one so that's why I thought mine was a mini....Wrong!
Hi thanks for your reply this is my second mini stroke in 12 months and I spent 8 days in hospital only getting home Thursday
In 2018 I had an angiography and was told I needed a triple bypass and 5 weeks later was transferred to Broad Green hospital in Liverpool to have it done but another consultant cancelled that saying he would put in 3 stents but owing to problems and I've suffered from there and had 2 heart attacks earlier this year March and April
Goodness Paul! Hope you'll be taking extra care of yourself during this recovery time.
Glad you are recovering, my husband has a heart condition and is on warfarin, but so far he is well. Keep on taking care of yourself, we are all here for you.
My mom had a T.I.A. 4 years ago, and it was so scary for my family, and loved ones 
. I know it sounds crazy, but I am so grateful that my mom didn't suffer a debilitating more serious type of stroke. Anyone who has had a TIA stroke is much more likely to have a more serious stroke in the future, especially if they don't begin a healthier eating, and exercise lifestyle . My mom is eating healthier, and taking an aspirin, and 1200 mg's of fish oil daily. 
My mom's Dr. agreed with the fish oil in replacing Warfarin or any other pharmaceutical blood thinner . Due to this Covid-19 pandemic she hasn't been able to walk 5 day's a week. Her blood test are still good. I know you will be as good as knew in no time, and ready to do next years marathon with my mom 
. GOD bless you.
Dont know about running a marathon many walking a half marathon be better or a 5k
Dear Paul, you sound like you have a positive attitude! I respect and admire your perseverance through your health struggles! Keeping the balance, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually is usually what works best for me...no extremes in any area
Determining what is "balance" in your life is HARD to figure out when you have new health concerns. What do you feel is best for you right now?
At the moment for me its getting the balance between my mental and physical state into an equal balance and work on staying fit and healthy and know there is help and people out there who care and willing to listen and help
