Mom's appointment went well. He released her to go back home. He said she is not disabled, does not have Alzheimer's or dementia and should be able to be on her own.

He said all of this is related to her brain tumor and surgery and is not a condition that needs to be monitored by a neurologist. He said her primary is all she needs. If she were having constant seizures he would say she needed a neurologist but for now he is confident she is fine.

He said as long as she has friends and family to check on her and make sure she divided her meds correctly she should never have a seizure again. I said if she messes up again I am taking her butt to court and getting custody and she's going to assisted living. He laughed and told mom to get a restraining order on me. hahahahahaha

In all seriousness, we needed to hear this. Now we feel better about taking her home. He even offered to continue being her neurologist from up here and would work with her primary if needed. Very nice doctor.
