Maybe a storm free day.
We had a lot of storms yesterday, but hopefully today will be storm free. I took Bree to the doctor for a check-up. Primary care physician this time, not a neurologist. She's lost a total of 13 pounds in just a few months. Doc says she can't lose anymore. Well, we're trying to avoid that and trying to get her to gain some. The doctor says if she loses any more weight she'll run a thyroid panel on her. Bree gets so much blood work anyway she can just add it on to the other blood draws. Today is also a PT day. Bree is frustrated. She doesn't want to go to PT. She wants to stay home. She went to the doctor yesterday, PT today, there is counseling tomorrow, and PT Thursday. The weekend will be packed again of course. We have to go back to Winston Salem. So she just wants to stay home. And sleep. With the covers over her head! At least that's what she told me, even though her speech is a little hard to understand this morning, I understood that perfectly. I told her PT was important. We are working on getting her balance back, improving her speech (she sees a speech therapist too) and working on healing her brain injury. "Well, I don't want to go" She said. This is very familiar. She never wants to go. She seems to enjoy it (sometimes) once we are there, getting her there is the problem.
