Well, this isn't a subject I wanted to be posting about. I just came home from spending the weekend at Hungtington Hospital. I had a TIA, which is a mini-stroke.
On Thursday evening, I wasn't able to communicate with my wife, just a bunch of nonsense syllables. The episode lasted about 5 minutes. I had an earlier episode in the afternoon at work. My doctor told me I needed to go to the hospital right away so off I went. I ended up spending the next 4 days in the hospital. I had a beautiful view of the San Gabriel Mountains. The air was clear all 4 days so it was definitely beautiful.
While I was in the hospital I had a bunch of tests run. They determined I had a tiny stroke, blod clot in my brain. My left carotid artery is also completely closed. My right carotid artery is probably 45-50% closed.
I am home now with only a very slight headache. The headache is enough to make me paranoid now though. I am off of work for the week. I am supposed to get plenty of rest.
