Another Follow Up Visit

Yesterday was another followup with Dr. Lantner. He is the neurosurgeon that performed the operation. He is definitely a different person when he is out of the hospital. He sat and asked Ed how he was doing…. then listened, and answered, every question. Prior to the surgery, when Ed was in the hospital, it was difficult to ask him anything. He was always halfway out the door while we were talking to him.

Ed will have another CT scan tomorrow, although the doctor doesn’t expect any change. As the weeks pass and the blood thinner gets regulated, we will all rest a little easier.

When I asked him how he was feeling he said, ‘well, I’m not paralyzed, it didn’t affect my speech, I didn’t have a stroke, but….. they gave me a death sentence.’
