Update on my medical thing

First of all, thanks to everybody for their kind wishes.

Second, I went back to my primary care doctor and he said to start taking Plavix. So I did.

That's where we are for now: medicine, no surgery yet.

May Ceiling Cat's purrs be with you all. K thx big time, bai.

I had a mini-stroke (TIA, transischemic attack) the other day. At least the second one this year. I was hospitalized before.

This time, no hospital stay, just new medicine.

I have been off and on DU lately and having some medical stuff going on too, but nothing like yours. I hope the new med does the trick for sure!

and of course when it finally went generic they switched me to Effient. I also took a regular aspirin 325mg daily- and I was bruising really easily so just be careful.
