Oh what a day

Just got back from hospital. My mum has had to have a series of tests today as she has had some blackouts which she decided not to inform either me or my sisters about until this morning. Anyway upshot is they suspect she has had a series of mini brain bleeds. Gotta have lumbar puncture in the morning and more scans to confirm. Complete shock to me, still shes in the right place now.

Yes All the best to her and your Family, Chin up

all the best. hope everything works out fine.

All the best. It must have been a shock to you. I'm sure everything will be oK.

Thanks everybody very kind of you all. Its a bit worrying because this is exactly how my nan died. She had a series of mini strokes followed by a massive one. Shes a tough old bugger though. Cant praise the hospital staff enough they were fantastic today and working for a pittance in my opinion.

All the best to you, your family and most importantly your Mum

I take it this is for diagnosis rather than cure?

This type of procedure has a high success rate so I'm sure your Mum will be fine, maybe a couple of hours of discomfort afterwards but nothing major.

all the best mate. hope it all works out for your mum

Yes just a diagnosis at this stage just glad I visited her early this morning. I just had a funny feeling after speaking to her on the phone late last night something wasnt right. Shes a proud old bird, but being a retired nurse herself she was well aware something was not right but was too frightened to do anything about it. Frightened the blody life out of me when I saw the state of her this morning.

I've had a close friend go through a similar situation (strangely his mum was also a nurse).

Basically she had a stoke at home (undiagnosed) was admitted to hospital and put under observation, where she had a further (larger stroke), she's now having an operation to remove a blockage in arteries around the neck.

The good thing about your situation is it sounds at least its been caught early and they are being pro-active about it (my mates mum had to wait a week after the intial and subsequent stroke before she had a scan)

Again hope all goes well!

Chin up mate, here's hoping everything goes just fine

All the best to you and your family, you're in my prayers

Thanks for all the messages of support your all a great bunch of lads and lasses. Once again thanks very much. Time for bed now methinks.

Yes she's in the right place, lets all hope that she recovers soon, Good luck!
