Discouraging news for GT

[GrandpaTom]

I had an EEG yesterday and my doctor called and said they found activity in my brain that could cause seizures.  She said I will not be able to drive for 3 months while taking a new prescription as if a seizure occurred while driving, an accident could happen.  So, my trips down to the river this year will be limited and no bullhead fishing for catfish bait either.  I will survive, just a little frustrated as I had a good time catching sheep head and being laughed at down at the river under the 494 bridge here in S. St. Paul.

Sorry to hear this. Your health & safety is more important.

  damn Tom, sorry to hear. Hope all turns out for the best buddy!!!

[Bobberineyes]

Sorry to hear this Tom, you'll have plenty of time to wet a line yet. Take care of yourself first.

[Steve-o]

GT, I am sorry to hear this too.  Pay attention to those meds they give you and maybe think about pushing back on the docs if they make you feel worse on the drugs than off the drugs.

The only reason I mention this is they put my wife on some anti-seizure med years ago - for something that might happen - and she was so doped up she couldn't function.  She wanted to follow doctor's orders, but it got to the point she couldn't think straight.  Eventually she pushed back and stopped taking them.  No problems afterwards.

I ain't trying to tell you what to do, just keep an eye on things and keep the doctor in the loop as to how the meds affect you.

Sorry, if you think I'm buttin' in when I should be holding my tongue, but my wife had such a bad go of it that I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  A second opinion would have gone a long way in her case.

Good luck, Tom.  I'll keep you in my prayers for a positive outcome and a speedy return to the river banks.

[roony]

Good Luck. You'll get past this.

[Boar]

Good luck tom! If yu put it out tjer i bet yu could find  buddy to dr.

[Dotch]

Well that sucks GT. Hope all goes well and you're back at it sooner than they'd like to think. 

[KEN W]

Good luck Tom.....hope it straightens itself out with the meds.

[dakids]

Good luck Tom and hopefully that 3 months goes by fast for ya.

[LPS]

Good luck Tom.  Those fish you caught last year may even be bigger now when you think back on it.   

[Gunner55]

Wishing you nothing but the best, GT!!

[GrandpaTom]

Well, some half way decent news.  It is not alzheimer's or dementia, but they did find a neurological function that could cause epilepsy, I am on a medication that should stop it from happening.  The driving thing for 90 days is a state law if you have ever had a seizure of any kind. 

[Jerkbiat]

That is some good news kinda. Did you actually have a seizure?

[mike89]

keep getting better GT!!!   

[GrandpaTom]

That is some good news kinda. Did you actually have a seizure?

The EEG showed I had one in the past.  Evidently my head rushes are seizures too.

I went in for a blood clot in my leg and the better half mentioned that I was having memory issues.  After some test the found some loss and then sked the EEG.  What they found could be a good reason for it and my memory should start to come back with the medicine.  The doctor said that for a guy my age, the tests came back quite well.  Now, maybe I will remember how to catch fish.

[mike89]

good for you GT!!!!
