Neuro News

Connie had an EEG yesterday and an EMG today both in Novi. The neurologist, Dr. K, was surprised not to find any nerve impairment. He now is the first Doc who thinks her staggering gait may be a result of the high calcium.

Up to now all the doctors have had one comment- the staggering is not related to the high calcium. So this is good news in two ways.

One is that she has no problems with the nerves in her right leg ( He did discover slight carpel tunnel in her right hand). Second is he thinks the staggering could go away with the surgery to correct the hyperparathyroidism.

So we continue to make progress- getting answers to the tests, ruling out this or that, keeping big oil in the black or green however you see it........

I have started my countdown to Mayo on the 15th. It can't be here quick enough!
