    Ok, how's that for timing? While I was writing that last post, she emailed me. She's pretty much ok. She had a TIA, not a stroke. *phew* She missed the concert but she's home so that's good. I'm gonna call her soon and let her know all of you are pulling for her and love her.

    I doubt that she will be online today so I'll let ya all know more when I can.

    take care everyone and have a better day!

    Thank you, thank you X! So glad to hear it.

    Mimi -

    What is a TIA or transient ischemic attack?

    A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce your risk of a major stroke.

    I think it is the best possible outcome concerning Jennifer's trip to the hospital- no lasting damage, not a stroke, back home again resting. My heart is glad for that. Get well Jennifer.

    Hi there ladies! I'm trying to get this out to you from work cuz I know you're concerned.

    I called Jennifer at home and she sounded pretty good considering everything. She stayed in the hospital overnight and came home this a.m. after being subjected to a hospital breakfast. She's still not sure what it was she ate. Blech.
    It definitely was a TIA, not a stroke. Not great but not horrible either. NO massive permanent damage with those, more of a warning.
    She's gonna be offline for a few days cuz it's hard to stare at a bright screen or read very much right now. But she wanted me to tell you all how thankful she is for all your prayers and well wishes. She wanted me to put out a special thankyou to MP. The med i.d. info came in handy as she was unable to tell them about her meds and such herself. Saved a lot of precious time.
    I'll be calling her again this evening so if there are any messages you want sent, PM me and I'll read them off to her. Gonna try to keep the personal calls to a minimum until at least Sunday. I'm also gonna read the TE and TD posts to her. Gotta keep her up to date on all the news ya know.
    The rest of the story will not go on TD unless she puts it here herself so if ya really can't wait, PM, IM or email me and I'll tell ya what I feel I can. She said to feel free to send her a note but just know that she won't be reading anything for a bit. When she is finally able to logon, I think it sure would be great to have all those notes to read.

    Have a terrific day ladies, take care and be safe.

    -X.
