So This Happened
Briton fainted and fell (twice) last night, and banged himself up so well he got to spend the night in the hospital. A CT scan, bloodwork, EEG, EKG, consultations with neurologists, ophthalmologists, and cardiologists. Doctors last night thought they saw a very small (3 mm) brain bleed in the CT scan, plus they saw that he had cracked his temple and fractured his left eye socket
Today, neither a different radiologist nor a different neurologist nor a different neuro-radiologist saw it that way: no blood in the brain at all. Major concern gone --- just like that. And he was able to go home this afternoon, though everyone is still stumped by why what happened happened. so, to cover one possible angle
He "gets" to wear this event monitor for 30 days.
He's exhausted. I'm pretty whipped, too. Still, if there are any skills a Southern Girl has, they are 1) writing thank-you notes, 2) making Jell-O salad(s), 3) making casseroles using cream of mushroom soup, and 4) sitting up with people at the hospital. Thank goodness for crossword puzzles, fun books, and, of course, knitting.
