My 79yo mother has had 2 TIAs this year. The only residual effects that she/we have noticed is difficulty recalling words at times and some loss of function in her right arm. It has not stopped her from camping or playing her hammered dulcimer or driving 400 miles to see us. She has admitted that she's slowing down and she starting to find camping more difficult than before--it takes her 1-2 days now to get ready and it takes her all day to hitch up and drive there or drive home. But she still tows her own little camper and packs her Border Collie along with her.
