Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

HelenDaveKids

Theres a lot off similarities. Working with people, coaching, supervising, customer care.
My jobs a cross between a nurse and a shop keeper!
Only "nurse" 2 or 3 x a month, but nice to keep hand in. Is very varied though. Obviously recruit, performance manage, teach, answer complaints, risk assess, audits, roster management, appraise, order....
Today Ive been doing some training with deputies.

That is young for a TIA. Thank goodness it was a TIA and not a stroke, must have been very scary though.

Are you on clopidogrel?

Tbh it wasn't that scary ... I know that sounds crazy to say but for me it was an amorosus fugax ( sp) so when I went blind I was kinda just checking to see exactly how blind I was ... I didn't think it was a tia or anything, in fact I got up and went and did a 13.5 hour shift, I didn't really think much more about it, it was only when I told the dr what had happened a few weeks later ( was in seeing him about something else) and he started doing these tests in me and I said dr that's the tests for a stroke, and he said yep I think you've had a mini one ... Only then did I panic lol

The only medication I have been put on is the 75mg aspirin ... I was in lisinospril as well but my hair started to fall out and my cognitive function was really really bad ( it's still not great tbh) so I went back and got my BP double checked and came off the BP tablets

Clopidogrel has similar affects to aspirin. Thanks goodness your bp is better as they seem very extreme side effects. Are you still working if your cognitive function still affected?

I havn't stopped working .. Have never taken a day off for it at all ... It's not that bad .. Well ... I think it's bad but other people don't seem to notice it, my husband now notices it finally an sees when I am struggling to get the words out and usually helps me out ... He says I'm still smarter than the average bear so I've not to worry:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but I get a bit stressed about it all sometimes tbh, although I'm slowly getting better at accepting it... I'll soon be using it to my advantage

It's been great catching up with everyone both here, and on other diaries. But I'm afraid that my working week has caught up with me and my bed is calling....

So night, night MFWs and hopefully catch-up again over the weekend X
