I had a stroke scare the morning after my 58th birthday. Mine was very minor in nature....I had some typing issues, was light headed and similar things for a few days. I was fortunate.....no speech or physical issues. I saw a neurologist 2 or 3 times afterwards and basically have been cleared. Been over a year now and I seem to be 99.9%. However my family practice doctor reminds me of this history and the risk. I have lost about 10lbs....10 more to go and I should be at target. Also taking baby aspirin and Lipitor every day. I count my blessings this was not much worse. Best of luck in your recovery.
