Hi and welcome to this great chat forum.
I have a similar story. 53 and pretty healthy. My TIA with small lacunar infarct came totally out of the blue 7 weeks ago. I spent the following week terrified that I was going to have another. 7 weeks down the line I am feeling in a much better place. I cycle 10 miles every morning. I’ve made small changes to my diet to increase my plant stanol intake (my cholesterol was normal anyway) but I want to keep it that way. I have just completed 6 counselling sessions which have really helped me to sort my head out. I am determined that this episode in my life will not define me. Please be kind to yourself and use this time to think about what’s important for you going forwards. I am returning to work next week (I’m a Practice Nurse) on very reduced hours and duties. I’m not sure at the moment if I want to remain in nursing as my TIA was possibly caused by work stress. But I won’t know that unless I try to go back.
Take care and I wish you a speedy recovery. Use the time to catch up with people who are important to you.
Sending you best wishes and positive thoughts.
