There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Deb's continued progress
- Thread starter OBIO
- Start date
Late yesterday afternoon Deb had an appointment with the neurologist. The two EEGs that were done after her seizure showed absolutely nothing out of the normal, nor did the CAT scan done the morning of her seizure. Every thing looks great, no abnormalities, no excessive brain fluids, no leisions, no pools of blood. Her brain looks like a normal brain...too bad it doesn't function that way LOL.
The doc was very very happy with the current state of Deb's recovery and still anticipates and complete and total recovery...in time. He said it could take a year for all the little things to iron themselves out.
He said that he is shooting for Deb to return to work in March...albeit in a limited capacity. Not as a nurse, but as a unit clerk or a triage/intake nurse...something along those lines. Deb and I had not even thought about her returning to work in a limited capacity...we were looking at nursing or nothing....so that was a real eye opener for us and opens up some options that we had not thougth of.
All the testing and checks he performed yesterday..gauging the sensation in the right side of Deb's face, equalateral mobility and strength were all good.
After his evaluations, he felt that Deb does not need out patient physical therapy...as we are doing well in that area on our own...she says I push her harder than the physical therapists did. He did order out patient speech therapy to help improve her speech and (more importantly) her swallowing. Her first out patient speech therapy session is on the 27th. It will be done in the hospital rehab ward...so they know Deb and Deb knows them...so work can begin in earnest from day one.
Tomorrow, we are making a trip to the rehab facility/nursin home were Deb was for a couple months. We are taking in two large black trash bags of stuffed animals for the residents....those old gals want soft snuggly things to sleep with and there is a general lack of them. And we will be hanging out with the residents and playing bingo for an hour or two. Deb is looking forward to seeing the nurses and therapy staff who she came to like and the residents. I think mostly she is looking forward to playing bingo!
