Thanks to all for your responses and prayers. I looked up TIA before the MRI and it sure sounded like that. But the MRI said a definite stroke - maybe the TIA shows up as a stroke.
It doesn’t seem fair to give someone who is already of “broken” brain another affliction to deal with, but there are many with such out there.
Gd bless my FReeper family for your kindness. Mostly, the family prays for her to be able to live out her time in comfort and no distress.
Hugs and prayers for you and yours
One of my neighbors had a series of TIA’s. The worst danger was that it caused him to fall down unexpectedly and he would injure himself in the falls. One time he fell into a stack of storm windows that were leaned against the back yard wall; we were picking shards of glass out of his legs for days. Another time he fell down a flight of stairs. One other fall was while walking on a pavement, and his glasses cut and bruised his face all up — that one could have been worse.
So to whatever extent you can, make her environment as safe as possible. Consider whether baby gates are needed. Are you still working? Is she alone for periods of time?
Here’s to it having been a tight spot that pinched off a short time and then blew clear with the result the Alzheimer’s backs off! Prayers for you and Mom Yaelle.
