We came home on the 11th March from a spectacular road trip on the NC500. 8 days later, now Monday afternoon, as I attended the kitchen sealant, I became dropping tools, and the next minute, I'm on the floor. My right arm and leg were useless. That came on on less than five minutes. I also felt at ease, which was weird.
The ambulance arrive in about 30 mins, and by that time, my arm and leg were recovered to about 90%.and on the journey to the Hospital, they came back 100%.
However, the stroke decided to mess with my words and spelling. Over the next two days, that improved, and my chat is like normal, although I can't remember a few words. I can read as normal, but my spelling, means writing posts is a lot slower than before.
All tests were normal. Low blood pressure, no serious Cholestrol, no diabedic traces. The consultant is thinking it might be a small clot from my heart. So I have to do a 72 hour wired up.
The MRI shows a small shadow on the left sight, at the language location. So now I need to arrest this spelling issue, and it is improving slowly.
Meanwhile, no driving for a month and has to be notified fo DLVA.
That's the latest news for now. I was lucky.
You will be lucky if its just a month ban - my son blacked out at home and was given the standard 6 months withdrawal of licence. My TIA, which is what it sounds as if you had, warranted on 6 weeks but that was 6 years ago and the rules have been tightened since then.
Best of luck with it all. If spelling and typing still are issues use the dictation facility on your phone or PC. I use I phone dictation all the time - short fat stubby fingers and a small phone dont work well together.
