TIAs (Transcient Ischemic Attack)

[Braveheart]

Hey Folks !!!

Sorry it's been a while since I've been online. Quite busy with work. Hope you're keeping well.

Just wanted to let you know I'm seeing the Professor of Vascular Neurology tomorrow for my 2nd opinion reference the suspected TIAs I have been suffering since Nov. 2000. I will let you know if anything interesting comes out of it.

Another bit of news: I take delivery of my CoaguChek 'S' INR system on 13th December - yippeeee

Finally, I've booked two airline tickets for me and my Mum to visit my friends in Houston, Tx - YAY !!

Will be there from Fri. 28th Dec - Thur. 10th Jan.
Are there any others from this forum who live in the Houston area?? Just curious. I can't wait!! I've been before and love the US very much!

Well, take care and God Bless you all,

Good to hear from you. We have a few members from the Houston area. Dick V and Lisa from Katy off the top of my head. Sure they will be posting soon.

You will just love your Coaguchek. It was like removing the old ball an chain for me

Also, you may want to PM or email Bob Gleason. Both of you have had similar symptoms.

Take care

Well, there's Jonathan. We lose you now and then but you always eventually show up. Glad to hear the good news. And that you are visiting the USA. Have a good trip to Houston. I went there this year to visit a cousin and it's an awesome city. Enjoy. God bless

Jonathan,
best of luck with the consultant on your TIA's. Maybe you will get to the bottom of it yet.

Hi Jonathan! My family and I live in Katy, a suburb of Houston. I teach, so I will be off during much of the time you are here. Hope to see you!

Jonathan, Dick Vincent has a Coaguchek S bought in the UK.
I bet he would conduct a training session if you wish and probably buy you a drink after!

Glad you are having a second opinion. Never hurts to have one. And so glad you are doing very well. Have fun and happy holidays. Keep up the cheerful outlook.
