Can't Believe I Lost the Update!!

Damn computer, which has some sort of bug, rebooted when I was down checking on Jim. I had just drafted a huge update about the home care people and the GI Dr. we've been seeing the last two days.

So cut to the short story. Jim's cognitive function seems to continue to fail (or not improve). Today, the OT who gave him intake and the GI Dr. with whom he had a followup saw it too. To deal with it, the GI Dr has cut certain of Jim's medicines, raised the Lactulose (the ammonia binder), ordered a brain CT scan, and is looking for a neuropsychiatrist for a consult. It could be that alcohol or something else has caused physical brain damage. Please, don't let that be the case.

Tomorrow I see Dr. Cutter for my last followup before the spring. The surgical drain from the mastectomy seems ready to come out after 3 weeks, thank God!! It does hurt, and once it's out, I can shower!
