Does she have epilepsy? Been through that stuff with my father. Can be pretty scary.

 

All scary.for sure. Does she have to, or can she take blood thinners then ?

 

Topamax is scribed for that as well. I think White posted she's on that earlier.

 

Fortunately, no, she does not have epilepsy. Hers is caused by a TBI. In 2015 She fell about 18 feet off of a ladder, according to the EMT. She gets massive migraines, and it messes with her optical nerve. Fireworks and flashing lights will also trigger it for her.

Brew is correct... Topamax is indeed an epilepsy med as well. They decided this was the best medicine for her.

It sucks to see... there's not much you can do but comfort them and wait it out.

 

Good morning, Thinkers.

Whitey - sending prayers and good thoughts your way.

sorry I've been radio silent , folks. I got back home Thursday and have been playing a massive game of catch up. Mom is doing better at the skilled nursing/PT place . They had her up and walking around and doing exercises within 24 hours of getting there. And within that 24 hours, I think she ate more than she had eaten for the 4 weeks prior. She'll be there a while on IV antibiotics , and getting stronger through that work, but is on the right road.

 

That sounds great Ohio. I prob mentioned it already, I'll be staying with mine after her shoulder replacement. Sister will for a week, then I the next. She was just 81 this year.

 

Neither thumb print works on my phone for ident since the sec update, any body else? PITA.

 

What phone do you have?

 

It's a S22

 

Brew, I had to set my prints again. Sometimes I have to lick my index finger before I put it on there for it to work, lol. Not sure why, but it works. I decided it wasn't happy because my thumbs are always dirty/cut/burnt - so I used my index as a backup.


Gla to hear that good news, Ohio! Welcome back.
