Had a stroke last week....  Didn't like it!!!

Last week I had a stroke.  I spent a day and a half in the telemetry unit of the local hospital.  I had a CT scan and an MRI.  The MRI showed "chronic ischemic white matter changes" and "multiple bilateral symetrical punctate areas".  Also - "subacute stroke in right prefrontal gyrus at the level of the centrum semiovale".  This is all greek to me.  My transesophageal echo showed an "intra atrail septal aneurysm".  I am very concerned about all this because it all sounds like stuff you would say about an old gal who isn't doing so well!!  I have no idea what happens next.  I have a neurologist appointment later today and an appointment with a cardiologist next week.  Wish me luck.
