Well ... some things are known

Lets see... I went to the stroke clinic appointment and here is what I know for sure.
I was taken off of plavix, which scared me a whole lot after what I read. So I challenged the doctor and for the first time since all this heart stuff started I wanted answers and honest ones.
I have been walking and working in such a dizzy state that I have finally got mad. I needed replies to my questions. I want to feel normal again!
He replaced the plavix with Aggrenox... it does the same thing I'm told and has the built in asprin.
He also took me right off of the new blood pressure pill my family doctor gave me and put me on coversyl .
The bottom line is these new drugs are suppose to eliminate the dizziness.
I have been booked for tests at a very good time frame which kind of alerts me to the urgentsy.
I'm going in monday morning for a ultersound of my neck and heart to see if there was any damage done during those strokes.
I also have an appointment on the 27 for an mri at 8pm.
So things are moving along pretty quick.

Ok now for my appointment.... basicly I was told I have blockages in my brain much like my cornary artry which they went into and put the stents in. Apparently they can do the same thing for your brain. Many head trama patients get that done. We both agreed I don't want to do that.
I mean lets face it...lol I'm too chicken!!
lol
I still like that other doctors saying my head is normal...lol
Anyway until these two tests are done and until my weeks of trying this new drug combo is complete shall we know.
I'm not sure why I'm telling all this.... I guess its because someday someone might have to go through one of these things and I really hope my exprerience might help them.
To be honest, Im feeling ok right now, Im a bit tired but that could be age too.

Tonight was our Christmas party for work. It was at the Chandiler place and it was nice.
However the boss was real cheap............ only two bottles of wine to the table.
Ok thats about it... i did dance up a storm .. ok small breeze lol i got tired lol
hugs all
