Day 3543: What does T.I.A. stand for?

This Is Ann, Telling It As it is on a Tuesday In A hospital room, Thankful I’m Alive.

T.I.A. stands for Transient Ischemic Attack. The Incredible And Thorough Investigators At This Institution Are Thinking I, Ann, had a T.I.A. yesterday.

Terrifying Incident, Actually, That Included All The Indications of A stroke. This Is Absolutely not how This Individual Anticipated spending her vacation.

These Images Are what This Insomniac Accumulated yesterday:

This Is A T.I.A. video on youTube, I Assume:

Thanks In Admiration to Those Intrepidly Assisting yesterday — my Terrifically Intelligent Amiga Deb, the Emergency responders on Jekyll Island, the staff at this wonderful Georgia hospital, my Boston cardiologist Deeb Salem (who called in response to my email and talked to the doctor here) — and to Those I Adore (That Includes All of you!)

    I’m glad to hear you’re ok enough to write about this. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a safe trip home.

  11. How scary! Although it sounds like you received wonderful care and that you have recovered. Are you able to continue your vacation now or do you have to go home?

    I wish you good health and no more TIAs.

    Oh dear! I’m so glad you’re ok now. Definitely not what you’d planned to do!

  15. That’s no way to spend a vacation! Glad to hear your symptoms are resolving and you didn’t have a stroke. Continued recovery so you can enjoy your time away. I’ve never had anything exciting happen on vacation.

  16. This Is Amazing. I’m so glad you’re feeling better and that your vacation wasn’t too disrupted. And, given where you are, I hope you got to see Doctor Jekyll and not Mister Hyde.

  17. Ohmygosh Ann, how frightening! So glad that this tale had a happy ending and your vacation is back on track…❤️❤️
