When I went to the doctor about my blood tests yesterday, her first words were, "How is your husband?" She was very concerned about him because all she had heard and seen, made her wonder if he had had a stroke. She wanted to do an ultra sound on him, to check on the neck arteries. She urged me to bring him in. Oddly, that was quite simple and there were only a few mumbled groans!
Steve's appointment was for 2pm today, Tuesday. She (Dr Nan Gu), spent some time getting history, making notes and asking questions. She explained why she wanted to do an ultra sound. Then she started on some neurological tests. As he progressed easily through each one, she realised that it wasn't a stroke after all and commenced on a new tack. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that the most likely thing was a virus, like a flu, which zoomed in causing a high temp and delirium, amongst other things, and rattled around the inner ear, causing vertigo. As Steve says, he's a lot better every day, so we hope that his memory will rapidly improve.
If it doesn't, our household will be in a terrible state ------ but perhaps neither of us will remember that the other one has forgotten!!
We were both very pleased with this news, as you can imagine. Added to that, she tested his blood sugar and pronounced it to be excellent for that time of day. He danced out!!!
