David Dr visit to the neurologist was good yesterday... Dr.E is a nice , likable guy... full of questions but no answers.
He checked out Davids eyes. and did a few things with how he used his eyes. arms. but then said.. ok we will need some test done.. . for elimination process. It could be you are having small stokes, so order an MRI... it could be the beginning of myasthenia gravis,...so ordered blood work... also want the carotid arteries on the neck checked with a Doppler test...
and since he might have metal in his eye. ( from his job many years ago).. the will do x-ray on eyes first before the MRI..
after all these are completed.. this month .. then we go from there... in the meantime.... please do not drive.. if the double vision episodes are at random times.. with no apparent pattern .. you should not be the driver..
I volunteer the information that I have been doing most of the driving ...( he does need a cataract removed ).. and Dr. told David, Clearly.. Your wife Must drive you.. in a very gentle voice said ,I could turn this in to the MVD..but won't just now . ( Mvd=motor vehicle department ).
so I am now my husbands chauffeur ...I will miss having him make the short runs for milk or bread. or pick up my library books.. but I most definitely do not want him to drive ... when the double vision hits. it is an instant thing and can hang on from 2-3 min. to half-hour.
so the long wait begins ..
I will make a bet with you all.. that it is tied into his Diabetes somehow..
that stuff does mean tricks to nerves. blood vessels , kidneys etc etc..
