Friday Afternoon

Mom ended up not seeing the neurologist on Tuesday. I saw Dr. Schuster at 9:00AM and was finished before 10. Mom's appointment was scheduled for 2:45. Instead of trying to "kill 4 hours," she decided that she'd rather see a neurologist at Mt. Sinai that she'd already met with my sister and with whom she's already discussed her case. He's also already seen her films of the CT and the MRI that were done at South Nassau. After seeing the tests, he said that he'd like her to have another MRI because the quality of the first one was very poor. Also, he'd like to compare the two. She called him and got a prescription for the new MRI and she went with Illana yesterday morning and had it done. She has an appointment scheduled with him on Wednesday.

As far as we know, it appears that what she had was Transient Global Amnesia, a form of TIA (Transient Ischemic Accident). If that is indeed the case -- if, in fact there was NO BLEED, as they initially thought -- then she can go back to her usual aspirin/day and drive again and get back to her usual routine. As of now, she's still staying here at my house and really hasn't been driving (I think she did once).
Hopefully, whatever it was is over and gone and will never recur. Thank God she's been feeling well and looks as beautiful as ever.

My visit with the Dr. went well, too. My numbers were good, Thank God.

Thank you for following and for caring and for your prayers and good thoughts. Have a wonderful weekend. Keep believing in miracles!!
