Home from family doctor. I don't feel well which, I think, is a side effect of a new cholesterol med I will never take again. She said my blood pressure is too low, for me to monitor my blood pressure, that since I've lost weight the cardiologist might want to reduce the strength of some of my meds. She answered my questions about labile emotions. She was nice about it..nicer than this sounds. She said none of us know each day if we are going to die. She wants me to see the ENT sooner than five weeks. She let me have my head ct scan with contrast that reads in part- "there is a focal severe stenosis of a right M2 segment branch posteriorly within the sylvian fissure..." Well, that's what I thought. She said since I am on Coumadin already, I should be ok as long as my blood is kept thin enough.

She wants me to have physical therapy for my now weakened left leg.

I made notes, so I wouldn't forget everything.

Oh, I've lost 16 pounds since March 19th.

I feel like she is on my side and right there at the helm. For all the gloomy news it was a good visit. My cva could have been much worse.
