Had a TIA

[rkentzel]

Had a TIA a couple of weeks ago a little spooky. Doctor is changing meds around. I have decided to go ahead with plans to go camping this weekend. We go ever year for the new year. Just plan to take it easy.

I had 2 about 20 yrs ago. Follow doctor's orders. Probably will have you on baby aspirin from now on. I know what you mean about being "spooky"!!!!! and Dog Folks' advice on having your wife noticing your "changes" is VERY important for ANYONE........... well, not YOUR wife for anyone....you know what I mean. 🙂 And yes, go ahead and enjoy.....IF your doctor lets you go. 🙂

I feel for you. Had a what the doctors said was a minor stroke a few years ago and one TIA since.

A little advice. Have your wife keep an eye on you. She will readily see any changes in behavior that you may not even realize are happening. My wife picked up changes that I did not notice.

Hoping your trip will go well.

I had one myself about two years ago while camping. Got up and took a shower and couldn't figure out how to button my shirt or jeans and I couldn't speak a correct sentence. My wife threw my butt in the truck and got in to the hospital.

I was there about five days and recovered pretty much. I swear my memory isn't as good, but maybe that's just getting older. We went back to the campground and continued our camping when I was discharged from the hospital.

Since that episode we've been camping all over the southeast. I can't say it's slowed me up much. I just make sure I take my meds everyday. I'm also a type 2 diabetic.

Have fun camping
