102 #16
Well I was asking for too much - the neurologist arrived and talked to Linda during the 23 minutes I was away from the room this afternoon - and he told her there was damage on the left side of her brain (DUH!!) and that she may or may not recover all her abilities. No recommendations. Hmmm...I will find and talk to him tomorrow. Linda is still having nausea and her WBC count has been trending up for the last 2 days so today was a CT scan to check for a possible abcess in the abdomen - maybe behind the stomach. But she did have some scalloped potatoes after the scan and quite enjoyed them.

Your next chat with the neurologist will be an important one for you, Lorraine. Having full, honest and comprehensive information has been pretty foundational in this process from the beginning. Here's hoping this doctor can hold to that. I haven't had scalloped potatoes in years! I'll bet they tasted great. So glad Linda had a great visit with her mom. Hugs to you all . . .
ReplyDeleteLorraine, I have a suggestion, ask the neurologist to give you a written list of all the possible rehabs available for this problem so you can review them with Linda and then discuss them with him and the treatment team.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works.

I love that you always have good news to share with us (scalloped potatoes...yum) along with info from the neurologist (and the fact that you missed his visit)How disappointing for you ):
