Oh wow GG,

. Continued prayers for you all!!

Shad, yeah...that doesn't sound really good either.

Well, I'm going to go ahead and say goodnight. Have been on the phone with my sister for about the last hour. She just got back from a visit with her surgeon in Colorado. She has essential tremor, and has some sort of electrical implant at the base of her brain that is supposed to regulate her shaking. It's similar to the shaking with Parkinson, but not related at all.
Bless her heart, they had to turn her device off, and :( when it's off, she can't even walk anymore. She couldn't get herself dressed by herself, or even put on her shoes.
They turned it back on, the off part was just to check her actual function levels without it. They need to reposition it, which will require another evasive surgery. Possibly in June. July at the latest. She was hoping for tomorrow, but would have been happy with May...but, no can do, she has to wait.
Here is a link, if you're curious. My sister has the extreme version of it.

Well, I'm off for my bath. I'll try to check back in, but I may just go on to bed.

go get you some rest gg

I'm a bit better, but then I've not been moving around either....my head ache has not gone away fully...it's starting to get worse but this i can tell is due to a pressure system moving through...the other head ache is the side/back...more like a tention style headache....
