Today I went to the neurologist with Daddy ~ and Mother, of course. His appointment was for one o'clock (remember that time). We were patient. At 2:45 I asked how much longer they thought it would be. Around three o'clock he was called to the back for a weigh in, blood pressure check, etc. It was 4:15 when the doctor casually walked through our door! Remember the one o'clock appointment? By 4:30 we were headed home with lighter spirits and good news, but three and a half hours?! I mean, really!
There was GOOD news. Last week when we went to their general doctor he prescribed a pill for Daddy to "enhance" his appetite. Yes he probably had a TIA on Monday BUT the pill for his appetite was the likely cause of his disorientation and sleepiness. See, Daddy has a less than perfect kidney function and the pills (which may cause drowsiness) were not being processed through his system and by Wednesday of last week he was doped up and couldn't stay awake. Thank the good Lord that it wasn't a stroke. We can all rest better tonight.

Glad to hear that. Is he off that medicine now?
Definitely! We were relieved then angry that Dr. H perscribed it in the first place! I even asked him if it would work with his other medicines.
