On edge.

My MIL was life-flighted this morning...they think she had a stroke.

Waiting to hear more.  :P

 :hug: for everyone in the families.

Thank you.

She's doing better, they aren't really saying anything yet, waiting for test results. It was a mild or mini stroke (TIA) I am thinking. Will know more in the morning I guess.

I hope it all goes well.

TIAs are scary stuff. My father-in-law had one while stopping by for a coffee once. The coffee cup was in midair when he, well, froze. The hand holding the cup started shaking but he continued talking, only what came out was gibberish. We rushed him to a hospital but by the time a doctor saw him, it had all cleared up.

He couldn't understand what the fuss was about.

I've had 2 TIAs and PA has had one.  Of course the PR had her stroke before she was born.

Oddly enough I've noticed that the 2 times I had my TIAs I had been eating a lot of bananas.  Evidently too much potassium makes my heart rhythm wonky and blood clots form.

Is there a genetic component? :-\

My dad had an artificial valve...we lost count after awhile. The Dr. said that the valve, because of it's force would every now and then break loose a small clot...sometimes that clot would result in a TIA.

Depends in what area of the brain it happens in, sometimes he would just freeze, sometimes he would suddenly not be able to talk, other times he would get some numbness. Most often, he wouldn't be able to talk, but he could still write...and his thought process would usually be fine.

MIL did not lose her speech or bitching capacity ;), just some numbness in her left toes yet according to SO when he finally got home last night.

Stay away from the bananas QV. Have to wonder if they contributed any to my dad's...he loved bananas. If my mother hadn't have hid some all the time I would have never known what one tasted like. :LOL:

Probably not.  Our TIAs are from blood clots, not aneurysms.

Am feeling tired.

well I'm feeling that the scales are all wrong saying I'm 10 pounds heaver when I work out 4 times a week, then again I do struggle with binge eating, chewing up food and then spitting it out...who knows in regards to that...I am feeling ashamed that I'm consumed with freaking numbers like my worth is based on my weight dress size shoe size boob size  :headhurts: make it stop...

What are you doing about them?

I take turmeric capsules (anti-inflammatory and blood thinner), the PR takes an 81 mg aspirin and PA is on coumadin/warfarin.  I was on the aspirin, but when I decided to take the turmeric to help out with aches and pains I stopped it.

Working out can make that you get thinner and weigh more at the same time.
Because muscle tissue is heavier than fat.
The measure of your waist is a better guide than the scales, if you want to know how you are doing.

  The weight gain could be awesome muscle mass.  Have you thought of throwing the scale away?  :-\

Stiff and sore.

Did sleep OK, but somehow did not relax my body.  :facepalm2:
