Monday morning after breakfast, I was talking to my dog and realized I was slurring my words. Got to the emergency room and they started tests. Turns out I had a very small stroke. The only thing affected seems to be my speech; I have to speak a bit slowly and must be careful to enunciate clearly.
Got home yesterday afternoon. Spending this morning trying to set up all the follow-up visits with neurologist, cardiologist, primary care doctor, etc.
I was, of course, supposed to be going on a 33-day cruise starting next Wednesday. Another task for today will be cancelling that and talking to the insurance company about getting some money back.
I have a lot of thoughts about this whole situation, but I find I’m not ready to put them down yet. Mostly just thankful for all the people who have offered to help out.
