Talked with my Mom today
and she brought me up to date on
my Dad’s current health situation.
They are going to the Dr on Jan 22
to discuss an angiogram
which will diagnose exactly
how much blockage there is in his
carotid artery
and then whether he will pursue carotid angioplasty or stenting
There IS a Possibility that the Doppler sonogram test that showed this extensive blockage gave a bad read, but with the dizziness that he has been experiencing, that is probably not the case. HOWEVER, the Doppler that he had 6 months ago didn’t show any issues, so Something is wrong…
Regarding his second rotator cuff surgery recovery – that seems to be doing well. He was a bit “gun shy” in doing his PT exercises since the first time (surgery) he re-injured the shoulder and required this second surgery. But Mom and the orthopedic Dr had a talk with him, so he has stepped up to the required PT now.
Praying for good news somewhere…
