i'm 1/2 way thru my final week! friday is the finish line for me.
on monday, i did get a vist from two therapy dogs, and i understand i received one more fireman calendar michael is bringing that to me tonight as it was mailed to the house. not too shabby! i still have room on my wall, and my roommate enjoys them too, not to mention all the nurses!
sounds like the next step is a follow up appointment next week with my neurologist in seattle. i understand another angiogram and MRI are in my near future in hopes to eliminate the question mark and provide answers as to why this happened. at this point, all the doctors can do is shrug their shoulders and say they dont know. i dont fall unto any risk category of potential stroke....my spring chicken age, no drugs, no family history especially at this age, no high cholesterol.
meanwhile, i'm still not cleared to fly/travel to air on the side of caution.
i guess there is some good news to report....over the past few days, i'm getting more and more sensation back. the left side of my face feels like anesthesia is wearing off and i feel sore muscles on my left side. i take that all as a good sign, although certainly notplesurable sensations. i can feel a definite line drawn down the center of my body from the left side to the right. the left side of my lip feels funny, my left nostril, the area around my left eye.....all that numb coming out of anesthesia feeling.
i'm gaining more and more mobility and use of my left arm, hand and fingers. big improvement even from last week.
i've been working on developing the muscles to use my left fingers.
