I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your well wishes and prayers that have been sent to me and my family. I suffered a TIA (a mini stroke) last week while having a Doppler test performed on my carotid artery. During the procedure the tech put too much pressure on the artery in my neck and dislodged a small amount of plaque thus sending it to my brain causing the TIA.

Anyhow, I have to have an operation to open up and clean out that artery. The vascular surgeon said that it was not a major operation however the recovery period is a little lengthy. If anyone here has had this type of operation, please shoot me a PM so that I can find out what to expect.

God Bless,
