    Almost died again this year.
    Last year my left carotid artery bas 86% block and if it had not been for a minor TIA I would not have known, surgeon sorted that.
    At the beginning of July I went blind in my right eye for about 5 minutes and the cause was my right carotid artery was 99% blocked. Back to the surgeon, all sorted.
    Still here.

    Good to hear, Steve. Though it would have been prudent for them to check the right carotid too. With one working at 14% chances are the other one wouldn't be mint. But these aren't normal times

    I had similar. I dragged myself to the GP in a semi-coherent state in 2020 after losing the ability to think, my left carotid had the same as yours. Got carted off in an ambulance and rushed to surgery, I woke up paralysed on the right and with a freshly sewn up six inch incision on my neck. Now largely recovered and due for another blood flow check.
