Back from VA -- Day 2

Well the drive up to the VA was better than yesterday, but the traffic wasn't any better. I just knew to take the interstate this time. Although it almost started out worse. Less than 1 mile from my home a deear ran across the road just in front of me as I came around a curve. I probably got as close as 2 feet from it. It was nice to finally see a deer, but the scare was not appreciated.

The meeting with the Neuro went pretty good at least in some areas. It turned out to be a  female Neuro this time ( I never know who I'll see at the VA). I got nowhere with my bladder & bowel problems. She just said that I should call the Vanderbily neuro about it even though I explained that I didn't think he knew how to get referrals into the VA done. I was surprised how easily I brought up the subject with her. I guess yesterdays accident helped in that department. :)  I'll try agan next week when I see my NEW PCP with the bladder problems. Maybe I'll have better luck then.

She did change my medication for tremors. Same dosage overall, just now 3 times a day to help me to not get so groggy from it. I'm also suppose to take it every day now instead of as needed ( which was when I was going out to eat).  

Well I am going to go to bed now and sleep for a week. :) Two days in a row going to the VA has really worn me out. I was fighting to stay awake all the way home and had to stop several times.
