Finally back in from seeing the neurologist. He was able to provide clarity, context and next steps going forward. It's still beyond me why I had to have a near seven month slog to get to this point, but what's done is done.

So, what I've learned is that I've got blood clots in the brain. Tiny things scattered about, but causing no real ruckus. The issue: they're normal for individuals in their 60s, 70s and 80s. The problem: I'm not in my 60s.

An added problem: They're not causing issues now, but they can get worse. So... I get to watch my blood pressure, watch my cholesterol, watch my migraines (I get 3-4 year) and probably something else.

Clarity can be a beautiful thing. Or at least useful. This might be the latter.
