We’re HOME! After an additional visit by **D’s** neurologist, we got the green light to go home, and here we are! 🙂 We have some follow up MRI’s coming as well as a brace she’s wearing to keep that knee immobilized (pulled tendon), but right now the diagnosis seems to be one of her BP meds (minoxidil), having been missed. That’s as far as they want to conjecture right now. I’ll write a final “report” later, but right now her family is here with cake and all the accoutrements for a very nice birthday party. **D** also wants to write a note to all of you and since she’s the more accomplished medically of the 2 of us, she can explain more fully. Thanks! Bill ---

Congrats. Glad it turned out well. Give her a proper party now that you are home. A missed dose? Damn! My mother will be getting an earful this evening and I am glad I can relate that all was well eventually. ---
