Thanks for this, Charles. I enjoyed it very much. I also learned about the mechanics of stroke causation and how lucky I was that I ended up in hospital before I had one myself. I have similar pressure problems and it could have hit my brain rather than my heart.

Thanks again, Ellen. I'm not a doctor, of course, so my interpretations of what they said might be flawed. Usual disclaimer, which I'm sure you are well aware of: Ask your doctor if you have any questions! :-)
LOL - I ask ALL my doctors. And now I have a cardiologist's report to hand that I've gone over with the proverbial fine tooth comb and a search engine. I had no idea how dire my situation is. It seems that a high percentage of folks who have the same condition do not live out a year after diagnosis if they do not comply with medical advice. ha ha hahhhh.

Yeah, my disclaimer and doctor recommendation thingy was meant for a more general audience, since these comments are very public.
