Lisa's TEE
Lisa had a echocardiogram to look at her heart. When Lisa first had her stroke, she was given massive amounts of steroids because she also has Lupus and her doctors thought that might be the cause. Well, that wasn't it as we found out at Mayo so now they have to monitor if all the doses of steroids had any effect on her body. The TEE revealed that her heart looks very good and shows no signs of any ill-effect. That's great.
Her mood seems to be better with having to be there another month as well. I think she knows it is for the best. She had one episode yesterday though. Lisa has been ordered by PT to start using a manual wheelchair and propel herself with her legs. Not to use the motorized one Bayshore loaned her. She was none too happy. Sure, it took her about 1/2 hour to make it down the hall and there was much crying and swear words directed at me, but damn it she made it. She does not realize that her doctor' told me that she would never walk again. I was very proud of her.
