another quiet day at home today.
Larry slept well last night, so he felt pretty good today. We did a bit of therapy for his left hand and arm, but made sure not to overdo it.
Neither of us were looking forward to going back to Riverview, but we knew we had to. *sigh*
when we got there, we noticed that Larry's favourite nurse was working. She asked how the weekend was, and he answered "I've had better". We asked her to come chat when she had a minute.
When she came in, we told her how the weekend went. It was pretty embarrassing to have to tell her what we were doing when the seizure hit, but you can't keep details back. The nurses called the doctor, and he said that we did the right thing, but next time - tell Riverview when it happens, not when we get back. :)
They are going to take blood tomorrow and see what Larry's levels are at, and perhaps consult with a neurologist to see why this happened now... over 2 months after the first one.
The nurses emphasized that if he feels the warning signs (index finger straightening, arm twitching) he's to sit down NOW, not in a second, NOW! and don't hide it - if he can, let people know what's happening. Of course, they also said try not to worry about it... and we will...but, it's hard not to. For the first time in weeks, Larry's going to have his call button close by, just in case.
