Default I know how indescribably weird, and scarey

I actually ended up in the ER yesterday for something I thought was a mini-stroke. I was unable to speak and my brain was literally running on one cylinder. It was a very scary episode/experience, probably the worst I've had since I've been injured...but as I said, I'm better today.

Thanks for the kind words and support.

Thanks, Nick, for your posts tonight. I am so glad for you that you are feeling better today.

I also have experienced a really disturbing major setback recently, which seemed to come upon me with what I as well was quite frightened were perhaps TIAs [transient ischemic attacks, aka mini stroke.]

It's been a while since I've posted anything online. Reading your post tonight on your particular experience of setback sure helped me to possibly be getting my own bearings straight on just what I may be experiencing. Such similarities.

I'll post anew/an update later for my profile/info when I'm feeling better up to the task. Meanwhile I hope for you, as for my self, and all of us, that our today will again be A Better Day.
