I am going to explain my absence here today by letting you know I took hubby to the Emergency Room today.He is staying overnight.
I will go stay at my sister's house, but for now hubby wants some Library books, so I am taking them.
He may have had a TIA. Those of you who pray, please remember him.

@allknowing @Corbin5@jaboUK I am sorry, I try not to do so, but when I put that discussion up I was hurrying back, not knowing for sure when I would come back. Usually I try to explain. We do all have the ability to look things up when curious, though.

There is a tendency here to liberally use acronyms. I too check up.

I will remember him in my prayers My mom had a TIA and other than never remembering that hour period, she had no lasting effects. I hope it is the same for him.

He remembers waking up with a numb hand, going back to sleep to see if it got better, so he will have forgotten those two hours. He does not seem to have memory problems, but his hearing seems more sketchy today.

@GardenGerty I think it will reset itself with a little time but in our case, we took it as a warning and were much more watchful.

I am sorry, I was in such a hurry I did not give the explanation, it is a mini stroke.

Prayers going out for both of you. I had a mini-stroke when I was in my early 30's. I had all kinds of tests after and my eyesight actually improved. I had some lingering issues with my left hand but after a while that all cleared up.

He is worried as it affected his right hand, but is positive that it will improve. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Yes, we were at a quandry as to the fastest care, but opted for the place that already has records and is where his primary care works.

Well, this is "tomorrow" and not fine and dandy, but he is improving and regaining strength.

@GardenGerty At least he is improving. That's good to hear.

I hope he recovers completely. It's stressful for all when a family member is in the hospital.

It certainly is, and my daughter recently reminded me that I have spent most of the last twenty years taking care of sick people. Whew. I feel sorry for him, though, because up until now he believed he was indestructable.

This seems to be a mini stroke, it could be much much worse.

It made my sister feel good to help and certainly cut down on some night time driving.

Wanting books is a good sign, May God Bless him and give him a full recovery.

His brain does not seem to have really been hit, he has some external physical issues and is worried about his right hand. Yes, I found it good he wants his books.
