Heartfelt thanks to all of you for your kind words and support. Monty continues to slowly improve but still has the head fullness, usually at night, accompanied by a headache. Last night Acetominaphen took care of the headache ( or perhaps it resolved on its own). When this happens his balance is poor and he doesn't remember where things are like the walker that was right next to the bed. Fortunately he made so much noise that I woke up and was able to get him back into bed. We are sleeping in separate bedrooms because of his light and noise sensitivity.

Now I am in a terrible dilemma. My father, 85, is failing fast from Congestive Heart Failure in Oregon. He will be admitted today and his Cardiologist is on call. I must fly out on 1/23 and help my mother for an unknown length of time. I am unhappy and stressed that I must leave Monty. We see the Neuro tomorrow and hope to get help and advice. Then I must leave him. Thankfully we have wonderful friends and neighbors who can check on him and who are retired. The Dr may be able to help with home nursing care or in-pt rehab while I am in Portland, ( and perhaps in Minneapolis if we lose Dad and I need to manage the funeral.) I also have a wonderful brother in the Portland area who can help with Dad and Mom, but I know I need a professional support system if we can get one for Monty.
I ask for your prayers. The Mindfullness meditation has been wonderful. We follow Maritza's Meditation for Beginners several times a day.
