Update on my mom:
No date for the operation yet. The doctor wants another MRI and he wants her to se a Neuro-Optimologist (sp?) before he decides. He said the MRI that St. John's did was crappy and he can't really see the details he needs to see. Her next MRI is scheduled for Feb. 21st. I'm waiting to hear from the Optimologist about the date of her appointment. Honestly, I'm glad he is doing this. Maybe they can come up with something else, although it sounded like he was almost 100% sure the tumor is causing all her problems and that she would need surgery.
He gave her some coordination tests and she didn't do too well with them. It's weird. The woman can tell you anything about history, but ask her to touch her right finger to her left ear and she can't do it. I sort of chalked that up to it just being mom and her not understanding what people are asking her to do, but maybe she really does have a neurological problem? Maybe the tumor is causing more problems than I realized.
Anyways, we'll find out more at the end of February. And I can tell you this already, the waiting is the worst part! For me and my mom.
Today was cardio and althought I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffey nose, I had an excellent workout. I even wanted to workout this morning so I guess whatever is trying to get me isn't being too successful.
I did Candace's Run Fit workout again. I can't say enough how much I love this workout. It is a great workout.
