Hi you folk 9/23/2016
Ok, I been home long enough, and uped a few posts, so I am calmed and
relaxed enough to write...
This morning about 9am Butch calmly woke me up to tell me something had
happened. She had got up a half-hour before and had a terrible time
getting
to the bathroom door, about 5 feet from the Bedroom door. Her legs had
been
squirrley and just about uncontrolible. We figured she had another stroke
or
TIA and I called her Neurologist for advise. He said get her to the ER.
They did a CAT Scan and later an MRI. They advised staying in overnight
for
observation.
The Hospitelist advanced a surprise opinion tonight that the source of the
morning problem was not a stroke, but low blood count. Her count ran about
10 units low for years. But the tests today were 10 or 15 units less than
her 'normal.' They are going to test her levels over night and see if they
stay down, or stabilize and/or go up.
If they continue down they will give her a blood transfusion, and begin to
see what is causing the blood loss.
SO I await tomorrow with trepidation.
Please don't expound on the causes or results of low blood count,
I really don't want to know right now.
I just wanted to let you know about my Lady's problem.
Burt
P.S. I may be spotty in answering for a while.
