1967stingray's Blog > Georgia on my mind

Posted 30 April 2013

Our trip south last week proved that the harder something is to accomplish, the more you grow as a result. Ray seems sort of sad to be home now with nothing much going on anymore, and no non-stop blabbing 24/7 (although I'm in charge of the neighborhood yard sale this weekend, so we're not totally vegetating). However yesterday, back here at home,...


1967stingray's Blog > Lots of doctors this week

Posted 03 April 2013

In the last month, we have had a flurry of medical activity, topped off by the two overnight tests in hospital last month. This week every single day Ray has a doctor office appointment. I have to be more careful in the future about my scheduling!

Hopefully just an adjustment period and not permanent, or maybe his levels are too high. Then this Saturday night, we...


1967stingray's Blog > Not over yet; yet so much to report with Ray's EEG test, and not all good

Posted 07 March 2013

So finally, Ray reported to the hospital Tuesday afternoon to begin his 48 to 72 hour EEG. This is a test for seizures, headaches, that type of thing; it's not for everybody. The psychiatrist insisted Ray have it, plus a test for sleep apnea, the apnea consult is scheduled for next week. I am pretty sure Ray has apnea; both of these tests were...
