TPA

The switch Alison uses to type. The top one is for her thumb, the lower one is for her pinky. One letter at a time. A bit difficult to keep in position when coughing a lot. - Chris

 Guess who finally got her TPA? OK, it was not for the reason it would usually be used. Some of you might be wondering what is TPA? For the non-strokies and such, it’s the clot-busting drug. It is also used to treat heart attacks. It can also be used to treat pneumonia complicated by empyema with loculated fluid. Some of you already know what that is because you’re smart. I must admit that I didn’t know before. And the people who don’t know, you can Google it. Anyway, I was sick and it has taken all this time for me to feel well enough to blog. No, I’m not completely better. I still cough a lot, making it really difficult to use my switch. Anyway, if you ever have a stroke, you want TPA. And fast.
