Yeah I lucked out
Hi Mark,
Yeah, I really lucked out. For once. It's a miracle by the grace of god. This lady is great. She is real thorough. She had all kinds of CAT scans and things from different hospitals pulled up that I don't even remember having or being to. I was impressed. She sounds like she knows exactly how to get me on disability too if that is what she decides I need. She took copies of my denial's from social security and everything. She said she will even find help for my poor mom who has been the caretaker of me and my dad for so long now. She even made my mom see things in a totally different way from just the short amount of time she spent with her. I am so grateful.
Apparently, in the CAT scan I had right after my MVA that I have no memory of having it shows that I have had several mini strokes. That may be the reason the left side of my body is so much more affected huh? She did not say anything about my MRI other than it will be interesting to see what my doctor and neurologist make of it.
I am so blessed. You know my mom and dad's bishop paid for me to have this treatment and it is not cheap. Maybe I have misjudged the Mormon church. That was very generous. I feel kind of dumb and embarrassed about it. I guess I shouldn't but I am (I guess was) a proud person.
