Frustration.

If there was one word that could be used to describe today, it was frustration. I tried to get hold of the Disability Management person in my company. What I actually got was her voice mail. I left her the happy news that I had another TIA and that I would be notifying my neurologist about this (It was late Friday afternoon when I was released from the Emergency Room and after 5:00pm when I got home).

I had wanted to get her email address and forward her the Larry King Live Transcript from last Friday on Stroke and Stroke Survivors (with appropriate sections highlighted to enhance my claim I no longer need to be working in an industrial environment).

I tried to get in touch with my neurologist (unsuccesfully). My dear wife called and left them a voice mail message updating them on my status. Hopefully, someone will call tomorrow. It would be nice.

I had another fatigue attack this afternoon about 1:30pm. It was minor in comparison to those I had previously. It appears that my new dosage of coumadin may be helping things. I hope it is.

I am curious as to what another MRI taken now would show compared to the one taken back last November. I would be willing to bet there has been a change and not for the good.

I did not have any other speech issues today thank goodness. We will see what comes later in the week.

More to come.
