If my...Just read your post, coming here from blog. If my sis would have listened to me (which she hated to do)and gone to the doctor with what I considered TIA's, I'm certain she would be alive today. She thought she was having a reaction to something she ate, or it was the flu, or a migraine. Last March she had a massive stroke while she was alone. The phone was right on the chair and it apparently happened so fast she didn't have time to call anyone.<br /><br />She had MS (multiple sclerosis) and was doing quite well on medication. Her sudden death was such a shock to us all. I'm so glad 2011 is behind us as I lost an Uncle and 4 cousins after my sis died, all from my mothers side of the family.<br /><br />Clogged arteries are deadly, so you did the right thing.

What a relief that you can have this surgery and be fixed! <br /><br />It's been quite a crazy time for you. I laughed when you told your doctor that scars don't bother you. It's funny, I didn't want to have the knee surgery cause of the scar, but now I could care less! It doesn't bother me a bit. <br /><br />I am just so glad that you went to the doctor and are getting this taken care of. Strokes are nothing to mess around with!<br /><br />Love and hugs to you!<br /><br />Oh, thanks for your honest comments today. It's nice to have someone else admit to the craziness sometimes!!

It sounds awful, but recovery is quick and life is greatly improved with it.

So glad you were impressed by the surgeon. That means everything - you will go into it with confidence. Ask Katie or Ginny to post ASAP so we know you are fine. Take care and PLEASE don't do too much this weekend.

This procedure looks and sounds intense so I'm happy you feel comfortable with it all. If you like her ~ I like her too!<br />And I was so happy to read that she told you that you will not have to worry about strokes after this!!<br />I'm going to hang onto all this good news over the next few days.<br /><br />I know it won't be the first thing on your mind to post about everything once you're back home from the hospital, but when you get a chance fill us in.

I have taken care of many patients after an endarterectomy - I even know how to pronounce it:) It's a fairly routine procedure with quick recovery time.
