What's this?

[Shannon Nelson]

Hi all,

I'm wondering whether any knows what this experience (of a friend) means.

"I was just standing there doing the dishes, and it felt like the ground
under my left leg went down [earlier she had said it felt as tho the ground
was shaking]. I was kind of hoping it was an earthquake, that other people
were feeling the same thing. i looked at the kids, and they obviously
didn't feel anything. my head felt kind of warm, but that might have just
been fear. It lasted about two minutes. I went and sat down, and told the
girls to call 911 if I started talking weird." (She thought perhaps she had
a stroke; has an aunt who died of a stroke at the same age that she is now
[48].) Once the experience passed, and since then (it was yesterday), she
says she feels entirely normal, but a bit nervous about what it was.

Any thoughts???

Thanks!
Shannon

Sounds like a TIA, Transient Ischemic Attack, which is a mini stroke,
entirely reversible.

Does anyone know what the abbreviation Excr-can stands for? I have
some rubrics and Themes for it, but nothing else.
Thanks,
Shannon

LOL, that's all I could *think* of, but I hoped I was wrong!! (I'm
afraid I don't read German; but I'll peruse the rubrics.)
Thanks!
