Thanks to all who prayed for me, last Thursday night I got up out of my chair and wanted to talk, saw the words in my mind but could not talk, had mom call the EMTs and when they came, I was able to start to make sense speaking. By the time they walked me to the ambulance I was talking in a normal conversation. BP was 200+/120. Got to the hospital and they ran these tests, TEE, EEG, MRI, CTA, echocardiogram were fine. Vertebral artery has very small blockage.
I was going to be released Saturday and was walking the hallway when my right inside of my mouth tasted like copper and my right finger tips were tingling. I walked back to my room, looked in the mirror, again could not talk and my right side of my face was drooping. I went to the nurse and tried to talk, could not, so they ran the EEG on Monday and TEE on Tuesday.
They changed my medicine from baby aspirin to adult aspirin and now plavix as a combination along with the other BP and statin I was originially on.
Have an appt to see my cardiologist and neurologist in the coming weeks. Talked to my cardiologist who says it is not heart related, we know because of the EEG and TEE test, there is no brain damage nor a hole in my heart.
Again, thanks to all who has prayed for me. I appreciated and all I can say, glory to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
