I will start with Dr. Zu:
It was one of those days when, apparently, I am scheduled to get my monthly shot, but not see him. I just love the new insurance regs which require that I receive my treatment - a shot which lasts as long as it takes to expose my glute for the nurse to inject a syringe - and see Dr. Zu on separate days. I did stop in to tell Dr. Zu that I would call him with information regarding the clinical trial. He is good at returning my calls.
More information on the clinical trial soon.
Now on to Dr. Gao:
The EEG I had last month revealed abnormally high activity on the left side of my brain which suggests that I am at an increased risk of having a seizure. Of course, a grand mal seizure precipitated my brain surgery back in 1993, after which I was on an anti-seizure med for about two years. Dr. Gao prescribed Keppra, an anti-convulsant medication with a whole new set of funky potential side effects. Needless to say, we were not expecting this news. But Christine and I will persist and not let this deter us from our mission: to live each day with love and reckless joy.
I will keep you posted.
With love and gratitude,
Andrew and Christine
