Sorry to hear that you have had such a scare Phyllis and hope that your recovery continues.
I have been with 2 friends when they had a TIA (mini stroke), the first chap collapsed completely but made a good recovery within a few weeks. The second friend suddenly couldn't get his words out, it only lasted for a short time but it scared him enough to see his GP who sent him to the stroke clinic.

Both of these friends made a good recovery and neither of them needed any further treatment but it is essential for us all to recognise the signs of stroke, because the quicker you act the better the recovery.
