Now those pics even when trying to copy and paste are corrupted so they will not go here, sorry!
Moving on...
Today was a bit of a busy day anyway.
We, Hubby, Gus and me all went up to my neuro's office in Sarasota for my scheduled appointment this morning at eleven thirty.
Hubby walked Gus outside while I went up to his seventh floor office by elevator, of course, overlooking the water.Sarasota is truly a lovely city with many medical facilities as well as waterways. We made an afternoon of it with picking up eats from St. Armands Circle at the Columbia Restaurant there, we ate in the car, it was raining:http://www.starmandscircleassoc.com/
Then off to Lido Beach where we had stayed when we had lived on the other coast of Florida in Ormond Beach and had come there to visit the Ringling Museum when the boys were still young. The same Holiday Inn is still there, what a surprise; the only one, at the time that allowed us to stay with our first Yorkie, Benji, 1984-1998.
That was after my office visit that I was basically examined for my strengths of hands and legs and shoulders and ability to walk and hearing and sight, and I had all my questions on the ready from my end.
And the doctor had more tests necessary to get many answers on his end; from another VEP test for my eyes Visual Evoked Potential; it's been nine years since my last, for more info: http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/evoked-potential-test-for-multiple-sclerosis
My walking test apparently I flunk and so now the doc wants to try me on Ampyra: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Treating-MS/Medications/Ampyra a new medication that can help you walk faster, wow! | |||
Although it does have a few negative side effects and so I will be having some blood work done checking my kidneys and such. | |||
And also I will be having my head examined: translation have my brain MRI with and without iridescence, whatever that stuff is they make you light up with, I was overdue my last was nearly a year and half ago. The thing is that I will be going here and there and just about everywhere... eye test back up in Sarasota an hour away, blood work around the corner and MRI up the road a piece. Gosh I wish we had a one stop shop for this sorta thing. I know the hospital, but ours are well have reputations locally and the others are rather far. Any-who, I am so sorry that my additional phone pics from our visits today were not able to be sent here either, guess I can take them but I cannot upload them, oh well it looks like my ye ole cannon digital camera will continue to be my blog pic friend, next time...until then allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear! |
