My wife's mother is in the ER with a possible stroke and we would deeply appreciate all prayers on her behalf. She is in her eighties and had an operation earlier this week to get ready for kidney dialysis. She has a blood clot in her arm from the surgery and best guess is that part of it broke off and caused a stroke.

We sure appreciate everyone's prayers, her mother is doing marginally better and getting some feeling back in her face this evening and we are waiting on the results of an MRI, the CAT scan yesterday night didn't show anything.

The MRI didn't show any sign of a stroke and the Doc thinks it was a TIA. She's doing better and will probably be sent home tomorrow or the next day.

A sincere thanks for everyone's prayers on her behalf.

What is a TIA?

Ranger99 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 10, 2023, 04:22:19 PM »

Best to keep some chewable aspirin on
hand at all times

That still doesn't tell me what TIA is.

TIA is the new name for what
they used to call mini strokes

Well yall know I surely ain't a doctor
I can only repeat what I've been told
by the doctors I have to go to
( decent selection gets thinner every year)

Well, I finally got curious enough to look it up. You're sorta right, and sorta not. $:-\$

Transient Ischemic Attack, same as a stroke but doesn’t cause any damage. Usually caused by a blood clot in an artery going to the brain and if you’ve had one it increases your risk for a future stroke. Short answer.
