Today, I guess it hit us both that the neurologist's news wasn't the best. Larry has some blockage in the one carotid artery he has left, and we will "watch" it by going to NYC for sonograms every three months. the doctor was especially concerned with a large shoulder artery on the side where the carotid was closed. This side had considerable blockage. He still has to study the tests that he received when we were in his office. However, he asked me if I knew the signs of a stroke, and went over each one in detail with me. "If any of these things happen, then go away, still call 911 and go to Yale New Haven Hospital.

We were both digesting this news today, and my husband admitted that he was disappointed. One more thing to watch for. One more reason for me to watch him at all times.

I am fortunate I can go to my work and get some pleasure from decorating my "Chair for Charity," which is getting wilder by the day.

Live in the light,

Lisabeth
