Call for PFO closure!

I received the call today that I will be having my PFO closure on 3/11/2024. It is really hard to describe my emotions surrounding that date now that there is one. I am very nervous and freaking out. I know and people keep telling me that it is a procedure that the Structural Heart CardiologistContinue reading “Call for PFO closure!”

Repeat EKG with Bubble Study – 2/2/2024

The structural Cardiologist I saw at VCU wanted me to have a repeat EKG with Bubble Study done though Riverside (not really sure why VCU didn’t do it, but it is okay because Riverside is a lot closer) because the results of my first one when the stroke initially occurred and the TEE with bubbleContinue reading “Repeat EKG with Bubble Study – 2/2/2024”

Thanks Anthem! Anthem through the State ofContinue reading “14 Day Event Monitor – 8/10/2023”

Stroke Care – Visit with Primary Care Physician – 6/13/2023

I met with my PCP today for a follow up from my hospital visit. My PCP is amazing, as is her staff and she actually listens and provides quality care. My Doctor read over all of my hospital notes and she felt that it was not a Hemiplegic Migraine because the treatment that I receivedContinue reading “Stroke Care – Visit with Primary Care Physician – 6/13/2023”

Just in the “Nic of Time” I’m 36 years old and I had an Aborted Stroke – This is my story

Friday 6/9/2023, the day that changed my life! I worked from home Friday and felt a little off all day. Had symptoms of a sinus infection and took Tylenol Sinus hoping the symptoms would subside. Around 7 pm, I couldn’t feel my right foot. Then it traveled all the way up to my face. IContinue reading “Just in the “Nic of Time” I’m 36 years old and I had an Aborted Stroke – This is my story”
