Internal Medicine Doc Update

Today I went in and saw my regular doctor. She has been seeing me every couple of weeks or so since the brain bleed. Here is the update:

1. Still no bending my head down or lifting greater then 15lbs.

2. Still no flying in airplanes or going over any mountain passes.

3. Still no driving.

4. Supervised biking at the gym is still ok for no longer then 20 minutes.

5. Blood Pressure was a little high so mid-day naps for at least 2 hours per day.

6. Nerve Testing for my left side of my body may done in a few weeks. Neuro will order that test.

7. I will also have a large panal of blood work done next week.

8. Still in Physical and Occupational Therapy. This will go on for a while.

9. I see my doctor again November 1st and the Neurologist November 10th

We will continue to keep everyone updated. We have also been keeping the ringer off the phone so the best method to reach us is by e-mail or facebook. I also apologize that I have not returned phone calls in a timely manner, but I promise that I will eventually call you back.
