I’m using the speech function some words might not make sense. I’m getting in my MRI today for an incident a few days ago. A CT yesterday was negative.

Holy cow. Sorry to hear this. Are you admitted to the hospital? Are they trying to do the workup as an outpatient? Usually things get done so much faster in the hospital. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I’m hoping that you are posting from the hospital, and the lag in response is because you have been in the MRI facility. First, get someone to assist you in setting things up in your phone, if you haven’t already—it appears that vision, speech, and possibly coordination are somewhat affected, to varying degrees. I’m not sure which phone you have, but there are a lot of stuff to be found for the iPhone in the Accessibility tab, as well as the Siri tab, that you can investigate to make things easier for you. Yes, I know, Siri is mostly useless, but it does do some things okay, especially repetitive stuff. (Even then, it can get a bit wonky!) Without more information, I can’t really say much.

Get a fall monitoring device. I got my mom an Apple Watch just for that feature alone. However, she would fall or stumble or whatever, and told it that she didn’t fall simply because she didn’t hurt herself (and didn’t want anyone to know what happened) and eventually trained it to ignore these episodes. Then when she fell and broke her hip (and her arm) it mysteriously didn’t notify anyone. Hmmm…

Perhaps when next you post, you can give us an update as to the results of the MRI. We are pulling for you!

Nobody gets worked up for stroke on an outpatient basis, I think it's a safe bet that he posted from the hospital.

Have they done a carotid ultrasound? Ischemic strokes are often missed in CT scans, but can be deduced from a narrow carotid.

Every wish for the best of outcomes.

I used the iOS general voice command, along with “show grid” and “show numbers” voice assistive functions for a few months and individually and in concert they were a godsend.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

They are doing some deeper blood work to look for a Myelofibrosis and Myeloproliferative Neoplasm connection or dehydration (I drink almost 100% diet Cokes).

That is good news. Are you staying (or returning) for further tests?

My niece is my PCP nurse practitioner and she will le me know.

The theory now is dehydration. I came home.

Sometimes you have to force yourself to get fluids.

I almost exclusively drink (at least 2 liters per day) plain old water now.

Well coffee too.

A little milk, and the occasional soda.

No juices.

No alcohol.
