I was sitting in my hospital room talking to my husband when my hand started to twitch uncontrollably and I was overwhelmed with anxiety. I walked to the bathroom to try and walk it off. I looked in the mirror and could see that the right side of my mouth was drooping. My speech was also altered. This lasted for all of 3-5 minutes but it felt like an eternity. A CAT scan determined that I'd had the TIA.<br /><br /><br />It took me quite a while to not be afraid to be alone. If you need anything or just someone to listen to you while you worry let me know.carol annehttp://www.soapboxville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-15459854529590215592011-05-02T12:45:23.742-05:002011-05-02T12:45:23.742-05:00Glad you are feeling better today.

It was like I was looking through broken glass. I thought maybe it was only the 1 eye, but it was happening in both. That means there was a disruption in my brain. It scared me so much that I actually called Husband at work. I just wanted to hear him. Any how the computer hurts my eyes so you won't see me for a few days. Besides, I want to spend the weekend with my men.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-37828080515017632172011-04-29T15:30:27.769-05:002011-04-29T15:30:27.769-05:00So sad to hear you had a stroke, hope you feel bet...So sad to hear you had a stroke, hope you feel better soon.Your too young for such things.
