Wed 4/4 update

Well my update today is not as adventurous as RJ's. Michael and I are praying for the best as we have walked down the dangerous path called Stroke Ave. (that sounds bad in more ways than one)

We had a very full day today complete with a visit to his Tacoma office in the morning prior to my neurologist appointment at noon back at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. I had another CT scan done. Sounds as if another MRI and angiogram are in my near future. The CT was done to determine the amount of blood still remains in my brain from the hemmorage. Originally, it was said it could take up to 3 months for all the blood to be absorbed back into my system. Once the blood is gone, (the CT scans would determine this) the MRI and angiogram would be able to remove the ? and provide answers as to why this happened. There was too much blood last month so my MRI and angiogram were inconclusive.

We did get to visit my nurse Julie from ICU holding today. She was impressed at my progress so far.

So now I wait for the results from the CT scann to determine the next step. I take it one day at a time now while this whole healing process runs its course.

Skippy
