Thanks for checking in.

Irene’s had a massive headache for 5 days in a row.  She’s also had significant ham string pain in both legs for the last 2 days.  The nausea has been raging 24/7.

At the insistence of the medical team tending to her needs at dialysis today, she agreed to consult her primary care physician.  I drove her to the late afternoon appointment.  Dr. Adam Yarme, representing Dominican Medical Foundation examined her and said that Irene could either closely monitor the symptoms this weekend or go to the hospital ER for a battery of tests.  She obviously opted for the former;  she’s now resting at home.

Thanks for caring,

Thanks for checking in.

Irene experienced a BIZARRE morning. Extreme DIZZINESS caused her to stumble from side to side as she got her day going. It has never reached this degree of concern. It eventually leveled out…and of course, she didn’t tell me until this evening after she had driven herself back and forth to dialysis. She reported that by mid morning she was doing better and felt strong enough to drive. Thankfully the dizziness is not present now.

She’s having a really rough afternoon on other fronts…reporting that her face seems more DRAINED than usual; the nausea RAGES…she’s trying to REST and RECOVER.

Hoping for a REBOUND as she tustles this evening.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
