Dad went back for his results of all the blood work last week. Everything looks remarkably well! The doctor was very impressed with how good Dad looked. He has gotten so much stronger in these last few weeks. He hasn't used his walker at all in the last 2 weeks. His only ongoing complaint is the pain he still gets every night in his lower legs. He is now on medication to see if we can ease the pain.
We also went to get an MRI this past Monday. We are waiting for the results of that. The doctor is guessing he has lumbar spinal stenosis. That is a narrowing of the nerve opening in the lower back that could be the cause of the leg pain. We will see.
His balance is a little off still. He can't move and turn to quickly as he gets dizzy.
His memory is getting much better. We keep him fairly busy with things around the house. Just getting through all the new life changes and decisions is forcing him to work out some of his memory confusion.
All in all however, he is doing very well.
