Oh, no Bobby! You feel like you may have had a mini stroke?
I'm sorry I don't remember you telling us that. When did it happen?

You should tell your new PCP because mini strokes can be warning strokes that a major stroke may happen in the future
It doesn't matter if you are walking well or not. It's something that your doctor needs to at least monitor.

Your appointment with the new PCP will probably be mostly an introduction. She will want to ask you about some of your medical history (and probably your psych history, but don't let her dwell on it- tell her you have a pdoc who handles that) and go over any recent tests you have had. She will probably repeat some blood work and/or order more if she thinks you need it. Bring your med list and check to see if you need any refills for medications before you go.

I hope that the doctor is nice, and your appointment goes well
