“Just be happy, it drives people crazy.” – Unknown
So on Tuesday February 6, 2024 my mom and I headed to Columbus for my third post-op/programming visit. This is the first visit my mom was able to go with me since surgery and she was happy to do so. She, like my brother, is just as interested in how all this works and wanted to see what programming was like. Well I got all checked in and waited patiently my turn. They took me back to a room and we waited for them to come in. I explained to my mom how it was going to go. This appointment was probably not going to last as long as things for the most part are going well. Now if you remember correctly after leaving my last programming appointment on 1/8/24 I was feeling really good and tremor free. However, when I woke the next morning I had a slight tremor back. I shared that information with Rozena whom is the Nurse Practitioner and she was a little confused as why that would be. Now they were not that bad, but she got to see them a little bit. At that time I had two programs on my app to choose from and was sent home on that last day on program two. I decided to give that program a chance for the first twelve days of being back home even though the next morning I had a slight tremor, but then went back to program one before going to this appointment on 2/6/24. It seemed to be working well so between trying to figure out what happened to make program two not work longer than one day and making a third program we just decided to leave me on one when I went home this time since it seems to be working so well and when I am home I was encouraged to check out the new program, and see how that works for me. They are still happy with how well I am doing and say I have so much room to grow. That is great news and I will take it. Unless I have any issues I don’t go back again until my six month follow-up with the Neurologist in July.
This appointment was two days after my birthday so we had some things planned while we were up there after the appointment. I had looked up a couple days before whether or not there were any unique craft stores near by. So after we left I put the address in my Mapquest for the craft store and we wasted an hour by going there before we went and visited my Uncle. I did get paper for card making and new set of markers so it wasn’t all wasted. Lol He lives in Columbus and my mom and I were going to join him and Karen for lunch at Schmidt’s as my birthday lunch. They have the best brats and cream puffs. Until next time…..
