Great advice from supportive folks on this website! I had a TIA five years ago, like you I was unable to form the words I "said in my mind." Low dose aspirin and a low dose blood pressure med today, no problems. A first I also worried, read everything I could (mistake) and waited for the next one. Keep that positivity flowing, stay thankful for recovery. I turn 83 this month, no time for fretting and fussing, LOL.
