THE PATTERSON PLACE.

The view from the third floor.  Dad waiting.

A very nice new building with little helpers helping you fine your way around.  The doctor was easy to talk to and asked a lot of questions.  He took his blood pressure which was high.  He is to buy a blood pressure machine and has a few pills to take for the next several weeks.
Dad has a blood test to-morrow and a M.R.I. which will check for plague in his neck artery etc.

He definitely has had a TIA which must be taken very seriously.   The next one could be very bad.

Off to get his blood pressure machine.

So dad is getting good care.

Thanks for the update, Beth....I was hoping you would post something after the appointment this morning.

Good thing you did go in on Sunday and now Larry is in good care. I will keep you both in my prayers. They can do so much for little strokes these days and people live a long time and are well.

I read your list of symptoms and it was excellent. A new one is have the person stick out their tongue and it it goes to one side it could be indicative of a stroke.

I wondered if Carl was having little strokes..he often slurs his words..and seems confused, but has bad sleep apnea...so we are seeing our doctor on Friday. Our family doctor fell at the hospital and badly broke his leg and now is off on medical leave...so we are seeing another at the clinic.

We are enjoying our new little dogs so much. They are very gentle and loving...so much fun. Tomorrow should be warmer and we can go for a walk again...I hope!

Well take care Larry and you too Beth...love, Nancy
