We saw our family practice doctor this morning. He said we need to get out of town for additional help in trying to figure out what is going on with Jim's health. We now have everything we need for the package to Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix AZ.
Our lovely neighbors have a condo there and have told us we may use their condo and we may take our furry family with us.
We were told that some doctors will do a review of his case and decide if Jim is a candidate or not. We are not making any plans beyond today. It took 2 months to get Molly into her neurosurgeon's office in CO. I suspect that it will be in that range for Jim - IF he is accepted.
His symptoms rotate. There is a consistency in the symptoms. There is no consistency in when they will appear or how intense or less intense they will be. The one thing that is consistent is fatigue, numbness and tingling in his face - with varying degrees of intensity.
We enjoyed being with Dain over a long weekend. He cut the grass this week, helped put in some plugs of grass and worked in the dark on a leaky float in the water cooler. We also let him have some down time. At least this visit he didn't leave with the flu and a bad case of poison ivy (that was many years ago...but it was not a good way to leave our home).
That's it for today. Time to get my eyes tested. It will be good to be able to see again.
This weekend my high school class celebrated our 40th year class reunion. There is no way I am this old. Since I recognized only 5 people, they must have been among the younger people in my class. heh heh.
Stay cool.
love kathryn
