Tornado season plus more problems with Larry
We had a major storm blow through last week and I had to take Larry to the basement. We have a railing and I held on to him for dear life! Slow but sure! The tornado passed us but went north and one community had extensive damage to homes blown away. Thankfully, no one was hurt. We had over 100 mile winds, rain, and hail in some areas. Why can't we just have nice warm weather?
Larry has been going to his PT and trying to learn not to drag that left affected leg. His balance was tested on a "Nuero Board" and it was good. He has been doing his exercises around the house. I don't know if he will need the brace yet.
Larry's swallowing seems to have gotten worse. I had to call 911 recently as he was choking and gagging on his milk! We went to the ENT again last week and he checked his throat. He thinks he may be aspirating so ordered another swallow test X-Ray. He said the increased coughing is another sign of this. Then, that will probably generate speech therapy again. It's getting harder to give him things he can eat plus things he likes to eat! :notfair:
Larry also has an appointment with his urologist Monday. It never ends. Or should I say, doctors appointments from one end to the other! lol
The good news is the weather has been good the last two days. I hope I can persuade Larry to get out of the house. He loves to watch baseball so I can't deny him that. He can watch Jeopardy and baseball but I will have to block other shows he wastes his time on. lol
