As I wait for either a new lesion or second flair. I find myself wondering about my Dad's health history. When he was 38 he was hit head on by a Drunk Driver and suffered terrible brain damage the rest of his life.
That being said there are things that I wonder about. He had shingles and went temporarily blind for a few days. He was admitted. I remember being told it was neurological but my mom believes it was the shingles. (this was before the accident)
Then just before he died I had him here with me. He had some pretty serious complications and they did a MRI because they wanted to check the shunt.
The neurologist wanted to talk about all the holes in his brain as well as the big portion missing at the point of impact. I was overwhelmed and asked him couldn't the seizures have caused the holes but I get the feeling he was uncertain but didn't push it as my Dad was dying.
Now looking back I am wondering about those holes?! This was 2 years ago. Should I try to locate that MRI? What would I do with it?
My Dad lived 23 years after the accident could mulitple seizures caused him to have many holes.
What to do... what to do . I hate unanswered questions but I am guessing most of us do.
Thanks for listening if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Blessings,
Lori
