He's not had the results of the CT Scan so they won't confirm either way if it is a stroke or a TIA thingy. But Mam (she's a nurse) says if it was a stroke it was a very minor one 'cos he is doing so well.
Can't tell you all how much relief I feel. I don't want to think about him getting old and the stuff that went through my head yesterday was horrible.
Thanks a million for all your support and kind words. It mad isn't it - people who I've never even met being so genuinley (yeah yeah spelling!) nice, kinda restores your confidence in the world.

I'm glad everything is better
. You should still go and see them though for your own benefit.

My wife had a TIA. Fully recovered etc but scary at the time. Go, and you will sleep better.

I believe TIAs are pretty common. My father-in-law had one, and he recovered fully.
Best wishes.

My dad had a minor stroke about 15 years ago, If it's only minor then usually they make a full recovery as the brain soon rewires itself. I wouldn't worry too much.
