Journal: To Hospital via Ambulance.
A visit to hospital via ambulance on Friday March 4th to the Emergency Dept. Bout's of sickness, dizziness and 2 possible small strokes, I was unable to stand. One stroke at home and one in the ambulance. CT head scan showed nothing. Dizziness and sickness treated by injection. To probe further to to the area of my last  stroke, an MRI scan would be needed. Dr. Margaret Fisher thought, after thorough daily examination, that, at this stage, an MRI would serve no useful purpose. In hospital until the following Tuesday, March 8th and then discharged.

Stayed at Anthony's home in Hamilton until Sunday March 13th and then returned home. During this period Anthony was on holiday with Craig in Australia, we elected not to inform Anthony of  my problem, spoiling his holiday, until he arrived back home. Also during this period Gillian came over from Whitianga was and looked after Mum and made any arrangements necessary. She visited me each day in hospital with Mum and sometimes twice to give Mum a rest. Gillian was such a great help to us.

When Anthony and Craig returned from Australia, Gillian returned home to Whitianga turning us over to the boys. I was made comfortable in the front room where the sun sun shines all day long and well looked after.
