I was back in the bedroom watching videos with earbuds. SpouseAnon appears at the door saying "I had a stroke". He was really pale. He woke up wedged between a recliner and our propane fireplace. He's had these before, but this time he remembered nothing except waking up with his shorts wet and feeling like crap. I got an aspirin in him and he's resting where I can watch him. His color came back and he was talking and making sense. He refused the ER. BP is fine. So I'll be doing night nurse duty tonight so I can check on him.

*Update he rested well overnight. Got up and had coffee. Read for a bit and off to bed again. Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts and suggestions.

Take care of him as best you can. Be aware that mini-strokes, once they start, don't stop, and eventually one will probably kill him -- or you will wish one would kill him, when his mind is completely gone, as it will be eventually. I know what I'm talking about -- my mother suffered from mini-strokes. There is no good outcome to this, so prepare yourself.
