Friend,
I had a stroke in my sleep about ten years years ago one summer. I was in the hospital three or four nights because they kept me in until a Monday when a cardiologist could do this: "A TEE test allows doctors to get detailed pictures of your heart. A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE, is a test in which, under moderate sedation and a throat-numbing medicine, people have an ultrasound probe inserted down their throats to take pictures of their hearts behind their ribcages. " I had memory problems for a few weeks / months but I was good enough to go back to work in August. I had a little bit of therapy but the place sucked and I could not keep track of the appt times so I only went once That same thing happened when I was supposed to see a nuero. I hated the one in the hospital and would not go to his office. With a second neuro, I kept missing the appt time and the address to get there. I should have had more help than I did but at the time I thought I could mostly manage. M |

Friend
We will be here to listen when you need it. I don't know a lot about the extra skip of the heart. But I have a heart murmur that has been there since I was born. It used to scare me. As a child because the doctors all told my parents to make sure I was on a antibiotic no matter whether I was just a little sick or whatever. So I went to the doctor a lot. IF my sister's got sick I was on antibiotics too. It now at 61 is just there. All three of my kids have one too. Or at least I believe Devin does too. I know the other two do. Two for sure of my grandkids do. Not positive about Ethan. Anyway, I have a sister that has what I'm guessing you have. She takes a medicine for it. It is all that they said was needed. Donna |

I still put a chair in my shower, and I place a phone neer the shower. The stroke happened so fast, and I wasn't prepaired for it, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I prayed in the ambulance and asked the Lord to help me if it was the end of my life. It wasn't my time. BF |

you were so lucky! I just take baths because now can't balance myself to take a shower. Although my hand and leg aren't paralyzed I have trouble using them again because of the stroke. I used to be very bright and the stroke took that away. It caused so much damage and now I am terrified I will have another one. I didn't like the two operations.

BF, Mari, and Bobby,
I know that you were all "lucky", but I'm sure that it didn't make your strokes less scary, or the after effects or obligations insignificant. I'm so sorry all of you had to go through those experiences (((HUGS))) |
