My husband had a small stroke and we were just packing up ready to catch a flight home after dropping off the motor home. But we never got that far. We were in Cabellas parking lot when my husband dtopped the keys and said call 911 ! The EMTs were there very shortly and took his vitals. They said we should get checked out at the hospital even though his stats were good. We went to ER and they took him in right away and had him take an MRI within about 15 minutes. And the Dr. Read it or the techs did and said to get checkedout in MN after we hot home. They said he had 2 narrowing veins in his brain and that they didn't think he needed a stint, but to keep an eye on it. He said everyone about 70 would most likely have narrowing or some calcification in his veins. We got a CD and report to take home and we were on the next flight home. Everyone was nice- from the EMTS to the staff and drs. to Delta and ABC Motorhomes ! We had a wonderful trip outsideof his 2 911calls (yes, he had one 2 days before we left for our 50th Anniversary trip! PTL! Thankyou for all the help and of course Gods Blessing!
