Well, it's been a year since I posted.
Not a whole lot is going on, so updates will likely be periodic, but hopefully more than once a year.
Still having a few seizures here and there, but nothing requiring more than the rescue medication. Blood pressure is amazing! 122/86 last check, which was a couple of days ago.
Likely no more huge milestone improvements, but he's stable enough
Just a small update post, I missed an event.
On Aug 29, 2020 Larry was having what I call "spasms". It was not a seizure caused by his stroke, but his body was jerking and he was a bit confused.
we went to urgent care, and he had a small fever and a low phosphorus level (electrolytes)
he had to stay over night and get an infusion. His blood pressure also tanked.
They did a bunch of tests, and all they saw was high white cells and nothing else.
C19 was negative. He recovered after a couple of days, and we still haven't a clue what caused it.
We saw his doctor on Sept 3, and did follow up bloodwork. Nothing exciting showed up, but somehow he got a HUGE blister on his left foot.
It never got infected, and it's healed up completely now. I don't know where it came from, or how, but it has not recurred. We think it may have been a pressure blister from his shoes
it was a weird week.
Small seizure today, but nothing exciting.
He just says "my hand feels funny" and off I go to get meds! they work quickly, which is nice.
other than that, nada.
C19 negative.
'Tis Larry's birthday!
We're going to celebrate with take out and sitting at home.
Stupid Corona virus.
No seizures in the past little while, and everything has seemed to have stabilized. The "cabin fever" is starting to affect both of us, tho.
At least Larry's getting a small walk in most days, even if it's just around the block.
