Default Coach diagnosed with mini stroke

Found good description at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/000730.htm

Intro info -Transient ischemic
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief period of time. A person will have stroke-like symptoms for up to 24 hours, but in most cases for 1 - 2 hours.

A TIA is felt to be a warning sign that a true stroke may happen in the future if something is not done to prevent it.
