I wanted to give a brief update about Kevin's recovery.
He says his dizziness is gone. The headache-that-would-not-go-away is mostly gone...returns late afternoon.
Cognitively, he is still having some difficulty... still not thinking clearly, but says he feels the best he has felt since his heart procedure. (My optimist. Sigh. But I am really starting to believe him now. )
We go to his heart doctor tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4 for a routine checkup. We are pretty sure the doctor is going to say that he has no idea why Kevin has had the struggle that he has had and that he still does not believe that it is at all related to the heart ablation. To which, we will say, "okay, but he was not suffering from any of these symptoms prior to the procedure. Sooooo, what else can you tell us?" :) We will mention the POCD possibility and also make sure that he hears our "favorite" quote of this entire ordeal that came from one of the nurses in his office following Kevin's ECHO:
"You can go home now, Mr. Williams. If we find anything life-threatening we will call you within 5-7 days."
Yep. Never gonna forget that one.
