Thoughts, vibes, prayers requested
for Mrs. V., please. Specifically: for quick resolution of a bad family/financial/criminal matter back home in Tennessee, and for some health worries. http://www.democraticunderground.com/11471665
She is overwhelmed and seriously, desperately overstressed. Help, please.
Mrs. V. -- possible old stroke
Mrs. V.'s been having some problems for which our doc sent her for a CT scan, among other tests. Yesterday we learned that the CT scan revealed a lesion in the left basal ganglia, and our doc has ordered an MRI. It's scheduled for Tuesday.
For the past couple of months, Mrs. V. has had worsening tremors in her hands. On a number of occasions, she has felt like she was going to faint. She has also had trouble finding the right word, or has stammered, or has used the wrong word.
Do you know anyone who found they might've had an old stroke, or a test found something in this area of your/their brain? What was the ultimate diagnosis? Prognosis?
