Hi, last week the ambulance was here because my Mom was passing out and I grabbed her before she fell down. I walked her to a chair (she had problems walking) and made her sit down then I called 911. They did an EKG and other tests and told me privately they thought she had a TIA (mini-stroke).
Twice in the past couple of days she told me that she can't see out of her left eye. Could this be from the TIA if she did have one?
I just called and left a message with her ophthalmologist who she hasn't seen in years due to her having 20/20 vision after cataract surgery years ago. Waiting to hear back.
The EMT's think it's possible that she may suffer a major stroke.
If the ophthalmologist can't see her right away should I bring my Mom to the ER?
Thanks, Jenna
I'm so relieved!
That’s fantastic! Hope your mom continues to improve. Wonderful to hear good news.
The good news is the doctor didn't see any blood behind my Mom's eye.
Of course my Mom is upset and she's worried about going blind.
Just wanted to update everyone.
Thanks again for your support,
Jenna
