Doctor Visit Yesterday

After assessing my story, checking my yearly blood tests and exam notes (as recent as November), and looking at the results from yesterday’s exam, the doctor said he is pretty sure that my ‘slow fade out’ before the accident was not a problem with sugar level, but more possibly a heart, blood, or parathyroid problem.

Because many of you and we were praying that God would give the doctor wisdom – we feel good about the direction in which he suggested we move.

First, more blood was drawn – which gave me a new black and blue spot.  The nurse felt so bad about that. We were both surprised, as she hit the vein quickly and it was pain-free on my end. I assured her that it will just match the rest of my body.

Next step: I will be scheduled for an EEG, tests on my carotid arteries, parathyroids, and I will have to carry a heart monitor for twenty-four hours.

Also, Cerwin has a new job as chauffeur because I am not supposed to drive until the tests are finished.
