Mom and dad's trip to the hospital ended Saturday evening. Dad, having a crazy vertigo experience that led him to believe he was going to die, was invited to stay through yesterday. A MRA and an MRI were done revealing that all in the brain looked fine. The latest theory is that dad's dizziness and possibly even the stomach issues are related to a medicine he had recently started. The nurse practitioner also suggested that they could be related to anxiety and stress triggered by events of the past two months. Dad is going off of that particular medication to see if doing so helps.
Not only was the stay extended but they were "upgraded" when a cockroach was found scurrying about his room. Evidentially it is hospital policy that bug siting's requires that the room be evacuated and cleaned. The upside was that the new room was bigger and it had a really cool recliner that I enjoyed.
We are hoping that this week, Mom and Dad's travels are limited to the local shopping centers and restaurants.
