I had the scariest weekend. I had a migraine all last week that would not go away. It is still here but not as bad. On Friday J came in to ask me a question and I couldn't speak to her properly. I had to really think to force out words. I had J call my parents to take me to the ER.
The hospital was great, and got everything assessed really fast. They gave me a clot busting medication and then sent me to a hospital 90 min away. My mom drove down and met me, and she stayed until today to bring me home.
Today the docs did the final testing. They couldn't conclusively say I did or didn't have a stroke, which is actually good. The migraine wasn't changed by the clot busting medicine, but the other symptoms got much better and then resolved. This means my body was likely trying to have a stroke or having a small stroke that was stopped in time before anything was permanently damaged. This was one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. I hope and pray it never happens again! Thank heavens for Jess coming in to talk to me when she did, and for not letting me just curl up to hope the headache would go away.
