Another Visit to Neurologist

Tomorrow we see our neurologist for the first time in three months.  That is good, because before the last visit, it had been six months.  There are constant phone calls to the nurse line with questions in between visits.  Generally, we do not receive return calls promptly.  Do I expect too much?  Perhaps, because I would prefer immediate responses.  Finding the correct dosages and balance with exercise, physical and psychological therapies, and diet is a constant battle.

Thank goodness I know how to use Excel!  The medication list is frequently updated.

I expect that at tomorrow’s visit, George’s meds will be tweaked again.  I certainly hope so.  The primary problem we are facing right now (in addition to the lack of mobility) is inadequate sleep:  both for him and for me.  I can deal with most any challenge if I’m well-rested, but lately, I haven’t been.

Our lives now are a blur of doctors’ appointments (primary care, neurologist, cardiologist, urologist, and psychologist.)  The calendar is full.  A Perpetual Calendar and Clock that rules our days.

We will keep moving!

  1. Nice. You can make a difference by sharing your knowledge, emotions, frustrations and truly add to someone’s life in a positive way.

    As a caregiver, I never thought much about the impact my simple help made in person’s life. Relatives of clients would tell me how much I added to the comfort of people they loved.

    This blog can make a huge difference for someone dealing with Parkinsons. Don’t hold back on anything you can share. One idea or word can make all the difference.
