Thank's a lot for the info Don. Good to hear that Donny is on the way to get back home.

Donny........don't treat that so lightly....mini-stroke. I believe they're called transient strokes. Someone very close to me was permanently disabled and finally died three years after she suffered a full stroke. The doctor said she was probably warned with small "transient" strokes (mini-strokes?) before the big one hit and, had she known that, and had taken immediate medical treatment the major stroke would never have happened.
I just had my arteries tested for "circulation." The doctor said so far I'm in the "safe zone." But, at this age, everyone should have tests once a year. Believe me, if you don't die, you don't want to be left in an after-stroke condition.
I think Gary might be able to shed more light on "transient strokes." My GP said to keep the odds on my side...take a mini-aspirin every day for the rest of my life (to thin out the blood).

Donny getting old stinks, but you a long way to go. I have tried to turn each attack on my health into a positive. My diet has changed radically, I go to the gym and walk to the clubhouse almost every day.
Attacks should be treated as warnings. They can actually extend your life; or at best make you feel good where you are at.
Think positive my friend, John C.
PS, sorry for the soap box talk, but it is what I have to give when I care.
