Jaci and I were in the room when the neurologist came to talk to mom and run some tests. He told us she presented in the ER with a mini stroke, the MRI showed a massive stroke!! Normally this would present with vision loss and no use of that side. He was very surprised. He also recommended rehab, we told him she's cleared for a local center we just need the green light from all 3 doctors. He gave the green light. If all goes as we hope, she will be in rehab tomorrow afternoon.
Tonight I asked how she was feeling emotionally, she said she's overwhelmed. We asked if there is anything we can do, apparently not. She's tired of being fussed over. My hope is that will not be such an issue in rehab. She can sleep at night and not be poked so much.
Her attention span is short, her speech is better. She's a tough lady!
