So I've been working 30-50 hours per week driven 3-5 days per week.
Feeling pretty good... not 60-ish anymore but ok. Sort of tired... getting more sleep than usual but thats not bad.
Then last Wednesday I head for bed at 8:30. I call my wife to the edge of the bed and all I can do is mumble.... gobbledegook...non sense. She asks if I need an amBAlance... NO!. Then Hospital? Yes!
We live 5 minutes from the ER... we are off.
Fast tracked to the ER... two minutes in I get an IV. Then I'm ok again.
The Doc wants me to hop the amBAlance to the big city to get an MRI and other tests then spend the night. My wife and I are beat...it's 12:30am. I sign my release against the Doc's wishes and head home.
Thursday I spens six hours getting an MRI and other tests then I drove home. It was TIA mini stroke #3.
Looks like my trucking career is over. I was phasing out anyway... Christmas was my exit date. 54 years... 5,500,000+ miles. Coast to coast and border to border this Polackwas there to deliver your order!
So now I will recover, find another PT job and get my Coronet running.
Stay healthy my friends.
