I was attempting to get Alexa to play my favourite track, but my words came out all wrong. I guessed I might be having some sort of cerebral malfunction, and it turned out to be right.
It's what is called a TIA, or mini stroke, and it is also a warning sign. Fortunately, the NHS team came to the rescue. Don't let them tell you "the NHS is broken".
But it's not all bad! A lot of good came out of it for me personally, and there were some major learning points coming from my experiences throughout the day.
Spoiler alert! It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was a warning sign, and not just for me.
