Scary, my friend. Please keep after it with the docs. I think you’re wise to be seeing a neurologist.It's only 11 and I've been amazingly sick, so I don't know yet for today. My Buck 444 for an unplanned six hours in ER Wednesday, and my surplus SAK for the neurologist yesterday.

I had aphasia. Not only could I not speak, I could not think. I meant to call somebody, but I didn't know what to do with the phone in my hand. I was going to drive there to tell them I wouldn't be there, but I didn't know how to open the garage. And what were those things in my pocket over and over again? (house keys). I walked over to the church, very carefully, and tried to talk to people there. Maybe two words at a time, with a long pause, and the two words didn't make any sense or take me anywhere.
So they called an ambulance.
I'm impressed how kind and calm they were.
So anyway, it wasn't a stroke, though it had us all going for a while. All she could tell me yesterday was transitory aphasia, which means I couldn't talk for a while. I'll take it.
This is how I feel today:

I have to share a medical intuition with her. I'll bet they love the way we can reach out with those e-charts.
Thanks! I’m coming to the same conclusion. I wish I’d tried both of these years ago.Classics. Can't go wrong.

That sounds frightening. I hope they get it all figured out.
That’s scary. Glad you’re doing better.

Funny thing was it almost wasn't scary. There wasn't a thing I could do, so I felt almost uninvolved. Or maybe it felt like there wasn't enough of me to be scared with.Scary. I hope you don't experience this more than once, which is no doubt way too many times.
Wow, sorry to hear that, Jer. Sounds scary. Prayers.It's only 11 and I've been amazingly sick, so I don't know yet for today. My Buck 444 for an unplanned six hours in ER Wednesday, and my surplus SAK for the neurologist yesterday.

Just because you weren't scared doesn't mean those who know and love you were and even maybe still are. Glad you are feeling better. Here's hoping it never happens again and just winds up in the rear view mirror as one of life's little mysteries.Funny thing was it almost wasn't scary. There wasn't a thing I could do, so I felt almost uninvolved. Or maybe it felt like there wasn't enough of me to be scared with.
Hope this is sorted out soon! We will be praying for you.It's only 11 and I've been amazingly sick, so I don't know yet for today. My Buck 444 for an unplanned six hours in ER Wednesday, and my surplus SAK for the neurologist yesterday.
