The Stroke (Part 2 of 2)
They put me in the
Jeep and drove directly to Urgent Care in Cochrane.
Within two minutes I was in a bed and 20 minutes
later the ambulance was on its way to the Stroke
Unit at Foothills Medical Centre. For the next two
days I was on a cocktail of drugs and underwent
language, reading and writing testing.
At 12:38 p.m. on October
30 I left the hospital. This is part of what it
said on my discharge sheet:
• Final Stroke Type Diagnosis:
Ischemic Stroke.
• Male presenting with speech difficulties.
• Past medical history of sinus thrombosis,
rheumatic fever and recent diagnosis of afib.
• On exam patient had difficulties with paraphasic
errors, reading and writing, normal strength.
• Assessed by speech and occupational therapy
– safe for discharge home with outpatient
rehab for return to work and speech.
