I do not know Larry personally, however, he and
his family do indeed have my best wishes for a full
recovery. The usual procedures may call for a CT
Scan and possibly an angiogram. Mini strokes or
TIA's are definitely a warning sign of worse things
to come. A CT Scan is a very good tool for detecting
blood on the brain, except in cases where near the
brain stem (deeply buried). In this case, an MRI is
usually ordered.
