After throwing Michael around in an exercise the doctor taught us to help his vertigo last evening, his steadiness was much improved this morning. It was weird. I took his head, turned it towards me and quickly laid him flat on the bed, held him then turn his head the other direction then pointed his nose to the floor. We did it several times. Michael finally read the handout while I was at the orchestra rehearsal last night and discovered that it recommend that we do this 10 times in a row! Each time, he got dizzy and nauseous but less and less with each exercise.
The EEG went just fine. After 30 electrodes were attached to his scalp, he was entertained with flashing lights and noise before silence. He fell asleep. Now, we wait for the results. Does he have a seizure disorder? If not, we will ask to see a hypoglycemia specialist.
Me? Today is the meeting with my liver doctor to discuss the recent liver biopsy. With ten years of prednisone under my belt, there were indications that I had developed cirrhosis, which would then be difficult to gain approval for lung transplants. No cirrhosis in sight. Jumped through that hoop!
After our meeting in the city, I need to grab Michael's phone at my mom's (we forgot his jacket there yesterday), deliver it to his work, run to pulmonary rehab, buy a pound of Peet's coffee on the way home then make a fantastic dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu and braised cabbage. Another full day after a late night. We are looking forward to a quiet weekend!
