Jim ShugartSounds like you're coming out of this smelling like a rose. It appears that your caretakers all the way down the line knew what they were doing and did it quickly and efficiently. That doesn't always happen...

RNshooterPraise the lord and pass the ammunition!
Seriously, tell PT that you want to work on your draw stroke, on the affected side. Use a mirror until it starts to feel natural again.
A buddy of mine had a stroke in his 20's. He built houses. He sat on his porch pounding nails we would set up in a 2x4. He missed, be bent nails, he hit nails, and now he is a successful business owner building custom million dollar homes.
Your job is to get better and get back to your life. You can do it.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

just1tymYou are indeed lucky BiselyBlackHawk. I had an aneurysm burst in the left vertebral artery, and as fast as they could get to an ER Trauma they drilled a hole to drain the blood and air lifted me to another hospital where they coil embolized the aneurysm but unfortunately stroked during surgery to repair. It definitely Gods blessing to dodge the bullet. I had to leave my job of 25yrs, and rehab to learn to walk, dress, all the other stuff that stroke survivors learn to deal with. Unfortunately I had neurological damage and ongoing pain etc. Post stroke is a learning experience. The one main good thing that came out of it is my faith in God has grown immeasurably, in addition to my capacity for compassion for others that suffer from illness, injury, and disease. Thank God, for you have dodged a bullet, and to others who are survivors, you're not alone.
Regards, Will G.

just1tymBisely, I sent you an email if you ever need to ask stuff. Feel free to, as I have asked others here for help finding answers when in need. So many good folks here.

GWbikerA very close call, indeed. Some folks suffering a stroke don't get prompt care in time.
GF brother had a major stroke in Italy and died there.

TMatsWhew! Can I assume your doctor wants to do an MRI or US (not sure the diagnostic) to look at the carotid on the other side of your neck?
