Last week working in the shop getting my Suzuki ready for a trip to Tuscon I got very dizzy and had to go to the house to sit down. After about 15 minutes of it getting worse I decided to call 911. I was so dizzy I couldn't push the buttons on the phone.I was thinking well this must be it for me and kind of resigned myself to death.Luckily my wife came home just then and saw me in distress and called 911. So off I went to the hospital for a blood clot removal in my brain. No side affects at all.That took care of my trip,but I'm still alive for a next years trip. Still want to do a run to AZ.I'll be 70 in Nov.Still have a lot of riding to do after PT is done.I'm close to God and I told him please not yet and my wife walked in just then.

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery, red.
Yikes. Glad you?re still here to make this post. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
It's Tucson, but now that you are recovering, I'm sure you know that. Cheers, bud. Glad you're alive!
We old folk, you got another lease lucky dog.
Best 'O luck an don't waste it, sounds like you'll make every day count.
Blood clot came from someplace, hope you can effect that, reduce the chance of it happening again, or to your wife.
My neighbor died because she an her husband were too cool, waited overnight before seeking treatment, fatal.
She was in good shape, just had a stupid husband, the as hole survived, she died.
The blood clot formed after a fall on her elbow, went to her heart.

Alcohol in the right dosage is a very effective blood thinner.

Glad to hear you’re doing better. Heal up
Had my stroke scare about 10 years ago. Sudden memory failure was the trigger for a visit to the ER, daughter drove me to the Er they had me in a bed in less than 2 minutes a couple minutes more and I was covered with sensors stuck to me.
In the end it wasn't a stoke but some weird thing called TGA but it turned out to be a lifesaver, tests revealed I had dangerously high blood pressure I was on track for a real stroke or a number of other fatal conditions.
I've been on blood thinners ever since and my BP is now what it should be for a healthy 20 yr old.

Wow, good job your wife came home and you got the treatment needed hope you have a speedy recovery
I feel for you. 7 weeks ago I had a massive heart attack and died twice, once for a full 15 minutes. I took my 1st bike ride since then a couple days ago, about 15 miles. Surviving was a lottery odds win, and I remember almost nothing. I did feel it coming on & took a couple aspirin before my wife drove me to the hospital. I spent 5 days on life support & it's over 350,000 dollars so far. Almost done, tho.
