Most likely a TIA -trancient stroke. Not a stroke that leaves major symptoms but a "passing" stroke which may never happen again or could lead to larger ones. Most likely they will monitor for INR-blood clot factor in the blood to keep it thin enough. I have had several clots in heart & lungs and check my blood with a machine like a diatetes one and have medication adjusted. Ask about it. Also ask about having his Vitamin K and D checked.Also asked about concussion. Don't be afraid to "talk back" to Dr. ASK QUESTIONS. Blessings.
in fact we did just that, doctor was good explaining, but dad is contradicting the expected outcomes
they said his electrolytes are skewed and were giving him some sodium as well as potassium.
i can believe his potassium is low, he takes all kinds of supplements on top of his prescribed meds, that are for cholesterol, despite we showing him contra indicators for doing such non sense
at least doc took him off plavix for blood thinning, they took his leg last year from diabetes and had a heck of time healing the other foot, finally its healed... and he has a peg leg.. was doing very very well
then this event
they checked for concussion and that is what drove the cat scan at the ER and subsequent transport to the BIG hospital and they have done 3 now , plus the mri sometime tonight
i have to call and see how it went
he has to be forced to drink water, but his nurse is hmm persuasive, so he has been staying hydrated and eats,
