Dr Visit to discuss treatment options pushed out till after holidays.

The genetic testing of the biopsy is still not complete - 4 weeks after the biopsy - whats up with that? Seeing that one of the options on the table is to wait and see what happens over the next 6 months, there is no big rush to start any treatment. I told them I wanted the doctors to fully evaluate the situation, and if the appointment get pushed out past the holidays, so be it. I did not have to tell them that twice.

I still have been having my momentary lapses of reason, still every couple days, lasting 15-30 minutes. I may have been able to correlate these to an external event. I have been going to work, putting in full days and have had no problems there. I went to church on Sunday, and had nice lunch at our friends the Pawlaks ( a nice relaxing day), and had a rather severe attack later that afternoon. So its probably not triggered by too much or too little work. It may sound strange, but it might have something to do with bright light. I was facing a large window for both the seizures I had at work in mid October and late November. Yesterday I had to ask Holly to close the sliding door blinds I was facing at the Pawlaks because the bright light was giving me a headache. I will try to avoid bright lights in the future. Don't be surprised if you see me in some cheap sunglasses. I will also ask the doctor about this.

The driving restriction is really getting to me. Not being able to jump in the car to run an errand is really irritating. I cannot wait for nicer weather where I can at least walk to the store. I guess it kinda gives you an idea that I am doing fairly well if this is my biggest complaint.....

  1. I totally understand (about the driving thing). I didn't get my license back for 11 and a 1/2 months. But when I did get it back it felt weird for a few weeks.

    Hang in there!
