Dad went to his first follow up visit this week to his new primary doctor. They gave him a round of test (EKG, blood work) to see what his new base line is. We have a follow up appointment for two weeks to talk about the results. Dad was pleased with the doctor we picked for him. I'm happy he has someone he likes to help us continue with his recovery.
He is usually walking without the walker now days. However, he slows down a bit in the evenings. He is doing a good job of not pushing himself too hard later in the day. He is continuing his leg and arm exercises daily.
His memory is doing much better. He remembers all people we discuss. He will definitely know who you are now if you call or come by to visit him. He really only has a hard time with details of recent thoughts and conversations. A lot like we all can be sometimes when we feel we are having a "brain fart" kind of day! He is getting good about writing lists and referring to them rather than stressing over forgetting the little things.
I will let you all know how the results come in at his next doctors visit on Nov. 11th. The day before his birthday!
Please feel free to call him if you would like. He is getting a little bored out here sometimes. Not working is hard for him.
