Was it only numbers or numbers just happened to be the only thing you were trying to type?

I just remember I tried to type 3 words on my phone and just random letters came out, thought it was a typo, tried 3 times and same thing. I thought, "Why can't I type this word? How do you spell this word? I have no idea. What word am I trying to type? I'm so confused! OMG, am I having a stroke?" So I said a sentence out loud and only heard gibberish come out. "OMG, I am having a stroke!" Now typos make my heart jump. My MRI showed it damaged my communication center. There were 3 immediate changes that continue 6 months later: 1. I can't seem to hit the right keys on my phone since then. It looks like my finger is on the right key, but usually hits the one to the left. Spatial awareness damage I'm told. 2. Not being able to find the right word, remember names, etc. increased 10 fold. I'm 67 so naturally that happened on occasion, but now it's just embarrassing and frustrating. 3. I started saying words that sound like the one my brain told my mouth to say, but has a completely different meaning such as crowd instead of cloud, shore instead of store, etc. I know I've said it and immediately correct. It’s called phonemic paraphasia. It is a common symptom of aphasia following a TIA or stroke, occurring when the brain successfully identifies the intended word but "misfires" during the assembly of its specific sounds. My brain can't afford to take more hits so let's hope that's the end of TIAs.

Where did they say the location of your TIA was? Do you know what caused your TIA?

@kentkemmerling1949 thank you for replying. Are you on any medication to prevent a stroke. I am on a baby aspirin once daily until I have completed the testing and meet with the doctor. My episodes were less intense. No dizziness or blurry vision...just the inability to make sense of the words I was reading and once not being able to say what I wanted to. It's the craziest feeling!!
