MADDOG, that is very scary. It is good that you went to the ER. What can be done for it? I hope it does not happen again.

They wanted to send me to the hospital for more test but I will see my family doctor tomorrow. Thinks it may be a plugged carotid artery loosing small chunks. MADDOG

Did they put you on aspirin or something? -------------------- --Lymetutu-- Opinions, not medical advice!

They want me to have a caratid artery scan. But they never called me with the appointment time yet. Yes, I am to take one large aspirin each morning. I wonder if it is the Babeseosis causing blood cells to stick together. I am half scared to do anything like going hunting or out in my kayak fishing. I had been hunting the day it happened, I was on my way back from the woods when the stroke hit. I did get way excited after nailing my first coyote. And I was trying to get down into a canyon to fetch it. Doggy fetching a song dog. MADDOG

Just do what the doctors say and try to relax. I know people do get those and it may not happen again for a long time. I hope it won't! -------------------- --Lymetutu-- Opinions, not medical advice!

Insurance company refused to pay for the test after I drove in to town. I said FINE tell them they can pay the bills after I have a major stroke. They are still talking to the ins company. I need to see the coo payment amount then I will decide what to do. DEATH IS BETTER THAN MED. BILLS !!!! MADDOG
