Kathy is having her headaches on and off this week. (Mostly later in the day or when she is laying down) We finally got the CT scan appointment with Dr. Kureshi for Wednesday at 8:30 A.M. Hopefully he will have an answer to her headaches.
Kathy continues to eat well and enjoy herself at home. She’s really eating like never before! She has breakfast everyday of toast, oatmeal, eggs and fruit. At lunch she has soup, a sandwich and fruit snacks. At dinner she has everything and anything. She is really enjoying eating for the first time in her life. Over the last five years, Kathy’s medicine has always affected her desire to eat. (Nausea-pain) I wondered how she lived on breadsticks and water for so long!
Kathy started therapy in Fallbrook this week. First was Occupational therapy. Her therapist decided Kathy does not need further assistance in adjusting to home life. She suggested Kathy needs more speech therapy. Speech therapy focuses on the cognitive aspects of her mental training. She suggested Kathy focus more on reading and mental development games. This should improve her self-confidence in moving forward from her injury.
I will post the blog Wednesday with Dr. Kureshi’s report. We both feel it has something to do with her shunt valve. Hopefully he can do some adjustments to the device to reduce her side affects and headaches. Get back to you….soon
