I'm all set up for meds, thanks to HYKS/HUCS. Been taking pills (“anti-clotting”, I think, not “thinning” per se) since at least Wednesday morning, probably last Tuesday evening. Fuck knows if that wasn't what was in that drip the young ambulance guy hooked me up with. So no worries.
Sad to hear about your wife. Yeah, it sucks to have a “real” stroke (as opposed to my tiny one), but it's not hopeless. Both my mother-in-law and my own mother (born a week before Pearl Harbor) had strokes – my Mom, two or three – and they came back in pretty much all ways that count. Fingers crossed that your wife will too.
