My mom is going in for a temporal lobe biopsy tomorrow. As scary as that sounds, they may release her tomorrow. that is, if they don't find anything. there's some sort of clotting issue going on in the arteries in her head (something like that) so thats why they're biopsying.
they dont think she had a stroke - but maybe she did. that's what they're checking for. her sed (i have no idea if thats how its spelled, but that's how you pronounce it) levels are high. Normal is around 10-20 and hers are at 50. What's weird is my nannys are at 70 and that's why they'r elooking for something wrong with her.
When your sed levels are high it could mean you have an infection, syphilis, cancer, a neurological disorder or nothing at all. Real helpful right?
Anyway even though they claim she didn't have a stroke - they're still having her do physical therapy and everything they would do if it were a stroke so that makes no sense.
My sister told me about the brain biopsy while at work then my mom walked back in the room and she just stopped midway and was like Call you later! Needless to say, I was incredibly side tracked at work. I managed to just focus but then I was plowing through work to the point that stuff that should take me about 4 hours, I completely finished in about 40 minutes. Then I was left to think and ponder. Then I had to train a new person in a different department and I'm pretty sure I did a terrible terrible job. What should've taken me an hour took me about 5 minutes - so yeah. Good luck to her.
I'm a bit stressed out now and I know I have no reason to be I'm just worried. Obviously, it's not a big deal considering she may go home tomorrow. I just don't like the fact that my mom is in the hospital before. I know she had brain issues before but I wasn't born so I didn't have a chance to worry.
On an actual positive note - tomorrow we're having a huge dessert baby shower at work. I've been looking forward to this for about 2-3 weeks now. I'm down 10lbs and I'm doing to blow it all tomorrow by eating my weight in brownies and the ice cream sundae bar. I made the brownie/peanut butter/ganache things and I'm looking forward to that. I'm a stress eater and I will be eating away my stress tomorrow. Hopefully I don't gain back all 10 lbs. If I do, oh well, I'll start over.
